Is there a feature to trigger script after connect or disconnect to xrdp?

[jjasoncool]

I need to use x11vnc and xrandr to handle screen resolution and position.

However, it seems that there is no way to configure it to adjust the resolution and screen condition with a script after connecting or disconnecting with xrdp.

I would like to ask how to implement this and if there are any recommended methods?

Will it be added as a new feature in the future?

Thank you.

Existing functionality in xrdp v0.9.x allows a script to be run when a client reconnects (not connects for the first time). Have a look at ReconnectScript in /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini.

There is currently no disconnect script, but this has been requested. See #2090 and #1598. We've just finished changing the sesman architecture in development builds which will make this possible in the future.

because I am newbie, so I have google that and try to ask chatGPT, but can't get good answer.
Until you answer this.

It's documented in the manpage for sesman.ini. At the moment there's no other documentation I'm aware of.

Is there something else you need to know?

Currently, there are no other questions. If there are any problems with finding other documents, I will post a new discussion here. Thank you.

ReconnectScript doesn't work on any-vnc connection. (I have try reconnect to xrdp, not first time.)

The reconnect script needs sesman to be involved. In order to get this, you need start a session via xrdp, and not simply use it as a proxy.

If you're just using xrdp as a proxy, you'll need to detect the re-connection on the Xvnc server itself. There are a few reasons why it is like this. An important one is that on some platforms the xrdp service has no privileges to run the script as another user.
