IIRC, there was a possibility to add a file called "noexit" to /usr/NX/share/  to have the client and proxy running in foreground and waiting for the proxy and respawn nxclient on exit of proxy.

As a foreground process you could also use:

while true;
do
   nxclient
   while [ "$(pidof nxssh)" != "" ]
   do
      sleep 1
   done
done

There should be some more ideas on that in the mailing list archive and in the NoMachine knowledge base.
