<title>User Sessions</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
Systemd keeps track of all users who are logged into the system
|
||
(e.g. on a virtual console or remotely via SSH). The command
|
||
<literal>loginctl</literal> allows querying and manipulating user
|
||
sessions. For instance, to list all user sessions:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
$ loginctl
|
||
SESSION UID USER SEAT
|
||
c1 500 eelco seat0
|
||
c3 0 root seat0
|
||
c4 500 alice
|
||
</programlisting>
|
||
<para>
|
||
This shows that two users are logged in locally, while another is
|
||
logged in remotely. (<quote>Seats</quote> are essentially the
|
||
combinations of displays and input devices attached to the system;
|
||
usually, there is only one seat.) To get information about a
|
||
session:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
$ loginctl session-status c3
|
||
c3 - root (0)
|
||

<para>
|
||
This shows that the user is logged in on virtual console 3. It also
|
||
lists the processes belonging to this session. Since systemd keeps
|
||
track of this, you can terminate a session in a way that ensures
|
||
that all the session’s processes are gone:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<programlisting>
|
||
# loginctl terminate-session c3
|
||
</programlisting>
