Thank you for the feedback.
I'm using X2Go in combination with a load balancer, which gives me information about the session processes (CPU used, memory, pids, etc). I can easily combine the information from x2golistsessions_root and the load balancer to determine if sessions are executing work in the background and thus avoid killing them.
Thank you and have a good day.

Thank you for your feedback Stefan.
I understand your concern about terminating sessions when people are running tasks through screen or tmux. I would add a check to avoid killing these type of sessions.
No, you misunderstood what I said. Some people use X2Go sessions for having GUI apps run "detached" just like people use screen or tmux for running console apps "detached".
There is no easy way to determine whether a session is suspended because a user just forgot about it, or whether they intentionally disconnected from it, expecting the apps to continue to run.
