    Hi pl2024, welcome to the community.

     

    If you click on the information icon to the right of the computer name it will show In Session as the status.

HI pl2024 ,

 

You will still see the "In Session" status if a remote session has recently ended, but it should eventually refresh. Is it possible the session recently ended?

Hi KateG. thank you for your reply. It's quite hard for me to be very sure as many people can access the terminal via logmein and some are a couple of time zones away.

 

The main reason I surmise the terminal has been inactive despite showing "in session" is that I kept checking by killing logmein and restarting it and it kept showing in session but then when I finally login the main app that people use and has a timed auto logoff is not signed in. It's just impractical to email a whole bunch of people to ask if they are on. 

 

Logmein does show "online since" but that seems to reflect when the machine was last rebooted. I just wish it showed when was last activity.
