This is very interesting. I'm running a nx server on Ubuntu Edgy
running in a VMWare virtual machine. My problem is I have just enough
RAM for the host and guest OS. My nx sessions are running 24/7 and
after a week, the system begins to slow down. I checked, and it turns
out nxagent is uses _alot_ more RAM as time goes by. It seems to be ok
when I just close the session and open a new one. I don't have to kill
anything. Can you check this please? Even though the problem itself
might not be solvable, it might be possible to establish better
habits.
