16.2. The Sessions Section
The Sessions section allows you to:
View active sessions
View session details
Terminate sessions
Shadow sessions
When you select the Sessions section, a table with all currently active users is displayed. To perform additional tasks, click on the corresponding user name. This will bring up the Session Details page, described in the next section.
The Session Details page displays all the session parameters for each session a specific user has running. Each session gets a table with the information described below.
Terminal Server : The DNS host name of the server that is hosting this session. If you only have one ThinLinc server, this server will host all sessions. If you have several ThinLinc servers in a cluster, new sessions will be created on the server with the lightest load.
Display Number : Each session on a certain server has a unique number, the X Window System display number. Display zero is reserved, and never used for ThinLinc sessions.
Terminal ID : An identification of the thin terminal. This is the terminal's ethernet hardware address (MAC address).
Framebuffer Size : The size (resolution) of the active session.
Local Screen Size : The size (resolution) of the terminal's screen.
Xinit process ID : The PID (process identification number) of the xinit process, which is the parent for all processes belonging to a certain session.
Command : The command line that was specified when starting this session. This is usually empty for full desktop sessions.
Below each table, there are two buttons:
: By clicking this button, you can terminate a session immediately. Caution: This can lead to data loss, since applications running on the ThinLinc servers may not hold unsaved data.
: This button will generate a ThinLinc "launch file" (see Section 8.10.4, “ Launching the Native Client From a Web Page ”) that starts the native ThinLinc client, preconfigured to shadow the current user.
Note
The user will not be informed that shadowing is in progress.
