NAMEsystemd-logind.service, systemd-logind − Login manager

SYNOPSISsystemd−logind​.service /usr/lib/systemd/systemd−logind

DESCRIPTIONsystemd−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​. This is implemented by allocating a systemd slice unit for each user below user​.slice, and a scope unit below it for each concurrent session of a user​. Also, a per−user service manager is started as system service instance of user@​.service for each logged in user​. •  Generating and managing session IDs​. If auditing is available and an audit session ID is already set for a session, then this ID is reused as the session ID​. Otherwise, an independent session counter is used​. •  Providing polkit[1]−based access for users for 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 with logind via the pam_systemd(8) PAM module​. See logind.conf(5) for information about the configuration of this service​. See sd-login(3) for information about the basic concepts of logind such as users, sessions and seats​. See org.freedesktop.login1(5) and org.freedesktop.LogControl1(5) for information about the D−Bus APIs systemd−logind provides​. For more information on the inhibition logic see the Inhibitor Lock Developer Documentation[2]​. If you are interested in writing a display manager that makes use of logind, please have look at Writing Display Managers[3]​. If you are interested in writing a desktop environment that makes use of logind, please have look at Writing Desktop Environments[4]​.
