What I do normally, is to log-out the user in the session. Then the session terminates.
Thank you for that tip! I did not know that, but I just tried it and it works for me, too!
So, now I know that I can terminate a session by "Log Out..." from within the session. And I can suspend a session by clicking on the "X" of the X2S window.
Now if only the list of suspended and running sessions (the list that pops up when you try to start a session on a server that already has sessions) would include the session name, I would be able to manage all my sessions efficiently.
I agree. But isn't this the same as in Nomachine NX client?
I give the session the same name as the server where I connect to.
That is less useful for me since I have multiple sessions on the same server. Usually I name the sessions with the server name and then a number or suffix to identify the purpose of the session.
Do you make many connections to the same server? Why?
Yes, at the moment I have 5 sessions on my main server. I have several computers in the house, and generally each computer has at least 1 session running or suspended on the server. Sometimes I have two or more client sessions running on the same client computer, since I sometimes use sessions for a certain task or application. That way I can resume the session from another computer without disturbing the other task(s) that are running on the client computer that was running the session before I switched the session to another computer. Whew, that was a mouthful. But hopefully you get the idea.
I understand it a bit.
I agree, it would be nice if it would be easier to give a session a nice name, not some complex ID.
But I think when you have only one suspended session as a user, you don't get any question, the session just starts.
And if you have more then one session as a user, you can easy get problems. E.g. if you start Iceweasel/Firefox it will kill the Iceweasel/Firefox in another session.
