The nxstat daemon which runs in the background is used to produce statistics about either the host
machine (and the remote node hosts when multi-node support is enabled in the NX Advanced
Server) or NX services.
The NX statistics can be queried and displayed by the NX Server Manager application.
The EnableStatistics key must be activated in the /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg configuration file. The
following configuration keys can be set according to your needs:
ServerSensorPort = "19250"
Specify the port where the server
will contact the nxsensor daemon to collect the
statistics.
The commands to handle the nxstat daemon, in charge of elaborating the data provided by the
nxsensor daemon running on the node host, are:
nxserver --statistics start nxserver --statistics restart nxserver --statistics s
top
Important
The NX statistics can be visualized via NX Server Manager.
3.10. Sending Messages
The general form of the command is:
nxserver --broadcast MESSAGE nxserver --message SESSIONID MESSAGE
MESSAGE is the the text of your message between quotes. The message can be sent to either a
running or a suspended session. In this case the user will get the message when they resumes the
session.
For example:
nxserver --broadcast 'Text of your message' nxserver --message F46653240EA3A9C8DE
6EFA2D4E947EF4 'Text of your message'
