Stefan, I've made a few discoveries since I sent the email. First, I was not aware that x2golistsessions only shows the sessions for the person running it. When I run it as me I do see my suspended sessions, so that's good.
Second all the X2GoServers are using the same session database. PostgreSQL is running on the login server and the 3 servers where the applications run all access the same data. And the home directories are shared between all the servers. Still, even though the sessions as suspended they are not being started. To be sure, I've cleaned them all out using x2goterminatesession, then started a new session and suspended it. But when I try to execute the same session I am getting a new one, not the suspended one. Any other thoughts?

You need to set up all X2GoServers to share the same session database (using postgres, rather than SQLite) - preferably on a dedicated postgres server that has some kind of failover mechanism. x2golistsessions --all-servers should show your session if your setup is working properly. Also, make sure all the X2GoServers share the same home directories. Feel free to set up a demo cluster using our instructions here <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:x2gobroker> and compare the behavior/result. And, of course, there is always the option to pay for commercial support and have someone knowledgeable "look over your shoulder" via a shared SSH session - you can find a list of support companies here: <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:professional-support> Kind Regards, Stefan Baur Am 31.10.18 um 17:42 schrieb David Barron: > First a little explanation of the architecture. > The login server load balances sessions between 3 servers where the actual > applications run.
