systemd-logind.service /lib/systemd/systemd-logindDESCRIPTION¶
systemd-logind is a system service that manages user logins. It is responsible for:•Keeping track of users and sessions, their
processes and their idle state
•Providing PolicyKit-based access for users to
operations such as system shutdown or sleep
•Implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition logic
for applications
•Handling of power/sleep hardware keys
•Multi-seat management
•Session switch management
•Device access management for users
•Automatic spawning of text logins (gettys) on
virtual console activation and user runtime directory management
User sessions are registered in logind via the pam_systemd(8) PAM module.
See logind.conf(5) for information about the configuration of this
service.
See Multi-Seat on Linux[1] for an introduction into basic concepts of
logind such as users, sessions and seats.
