SYSTEMD-LOGIND.SERVICE(8)   systemd-logind.service   SYSTEMD-LOGIND.SERVICE(8)

NAME
       systemd-logind.service, systemd-logind - Login manager

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-logind.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-logind

DESCRIPTION
       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. 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 PolicyKit-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 Multi-Seat on Linux[1] for an introduction into basic concepts of
       logind such as users, sessions and seats.

       See the logind D-Bus API Documentation[2] for information about the
       APIs systemd-logind provides.

       For more information on the inhibition logic see the Inhibitor Lock
       Developer Documentation[3].
