Defining Other Settings

Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure advanced options and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.

The Other page of the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box provides the following settings for advanced users:

General Area

Maximum Idle Time (min.)  Specifies the time Exceed onDemand waits before terminating Exceed onDemand sessions if there is no activity between the proxy and Exceed onDemand Desktop. If the value is 0, the option is disabled.

Desktop Alive Check Interval (min.)  Specifies the time interval at which the proxy checks its connection to the Exceed onDemand Desktop. If the connection is broken, the proxy shuts itself down.

CDE Area

Close Desktop on Exit  Enable this option if you want Exceed onDemand Client Desktop to close automatically when you exit a CDE session.

Sharing Area

Changes to sharing settings or permissions take effect after the session is reset. Established, shared sessions are not affected. If you change the sharing settings from the Desktop menu, however, changes take effect immediately.

Enable Sharing  Grants the users specified in the Share list access to your X session. Depending on the permission level you assign, users are able to either view the X session or participate in it. If you disable sharing, no users are granted access initially. However, you can re-enable sharing from the Desktop menu after you start the X session. For more information, see About Sharing X Sessions .

Note: 
  When you start an X session, if you select an Xconfig file configured to run in multiple window mode, you cannot share the session to another user. For more information, see About Window Modes.

Share List  Opens the Share List Editor dialog box, which lets you add or remove users from the Share list. In the Permission area, set the permission level as View Only or Participate.

Suspending Area

Keep Suspended Session Active  Keeps X applications running on the Exceed onDemand proxy after you suspend the session. This feature is useful when X application processes, such as compiling, require a lot of time to complete. You can suspend and resume such sessions without interrupting the compiling process.

Note: 
  By default, the Exceed onDemand proxy suspends all data exchange with X clients when you suspend an X session. KDE sessions query the X server for input focus every 5 minutes and exit on the second failed attempt for response. As a result, if you resume a KDE session that has been suspended for more than 10 minutes, the KDE session exits immediately after the Exceed onDemand desktop is resumed and causes the Exceed onDemand session to reset. To avoid this problem, it is recommended you enable the Keep Suspended Session Active option, which is disabled by default.

  For more information, see About X Session Suspend/Resume.

Suspend Disconnected Session  Suspends the X session in the event of a network connection failure or Exceed onDemand Client computer failure. You can then resume the session instead of having to start a new one and launch the X applications again. This feature is useful in unstable environments as it safeguards your work. It also saves time by avoiding lengthy X application restarts after a disconnection.

Auto Suspend  The options in this sub-area let you configure Exceed onDemand to suspend sessions automatically based on specified triggers. You can also suspend session manually using the Suspend option in the Exceed onDemand Desktop menu.

Mouse And Keyboard Idle (min.)—Specifies how long Exceed onDemand should wait in the absence of user input (mouse or keyboard) before it suspends the session. For example, during processes such as data compiling or video file playback, there is no user input which could trigger a suspension. Clear this option to override the suspend trigger.

Desktop Contents Not Changing—Suspends a session when the X application is not generating output.

X Screen Saver Activated—Uses the X server's screen saver as a suspend trigger. If you also specified a Mouse And Keyboard Idle value, the session is suspended by whichever trigger occurs first.

Enable or disable the appropriate settings and click OK to save and return to the previous dialog box or click Apply and select another tab to continue modifying the Xconfig file.
