I currently have FreeNX running on Ubuntu Server 8.04.<br><br>I was wondering if it is possible to respawn user sessions in the event of a server reboot. Ideally, in the event of a server reboot, I would like the server to automatically restart the X sessions of all active users that were previously running (not necessarily saving state, but restarting the window manager) as well as any user-specified applications/windows (such as Firefox or a program running in wine).<br>
<br>That way, if a user connects to a FreeNX server after it has been rebooted, they will find a session they can connect to which has their windows manager and any selected apps running (although state does not necessarily have to be saved).<br>
<br>I know that this is possible in Windows by having programs start up as a service and bound to the console. Then when you RDP into the server and connect to the console session, you find those programs already running. The closest example I could find for Windows is something like this:<br>

<br>Is this possible with Linux and FreeNX?<br><br><br>Pat<br><a href="mailto:patc@pcoreventures.com">patc@pcoreventures.com</a><br>
