Systemd keeps track of all users who are logged into the system (e.g. on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
virtual console or remotely via SSH). The command <command>loginctl</command>
|
|
|
|
|
|
allows querying and manipulating user sessions. For instance, to list all
|
|
|
|
|
|
user sessions:

This shows that two users are logged in locally, while another is logged in
|
|
|
|
|
|
remotely. (“Seats” 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:

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:
