- systemd-logind is a system
+ 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; creating control
- groups for user processes; provide 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) and user
- runtime directory management.
