LIVE Server Log Files


When launching a LIVE session sometimes your session may not launch as expected. In these instances you may want to check the log files to see what has occurred.

On the Windows side the messages that appear show the ssh connection status. If you can connect via ssh, then this issue will be located on the server side.

The LIVE server also contains a set of logs in $HOME/.nx-{servername}/ These logs generally contain more pertinent information regarding LIVE session issues.

The following files in the directory contain information regarding your sessions:
