<title>User Sessions</title>

||
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:
|
||
<screen>
|
||
<prompt>$ </prompt>loginctl
|
||
SESSION UID USER SEAT
|
||
c1 500 eelco seat0
|
||
c3 0 root seat0
|
||
c4 500 alice
|
||
</screen>
|
||
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:
|
||
<screen>
|
||
<prompt>$ </prompt>loginctl session-status c3
|
||
c3 - root (0)
|
||

||
Leader: 2536 (login)
|
||
Seat: seat0; vc3
|
||
TTY: /dev/tty3
|
||
Service: login; type tty; class user
|
||
State: online
|
||
CGroup: name=systemd:/user/root/c3

|
||

|
||

|
||
</screen>
|
||
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:
|
||
<screen>
|
||
<prompt># </prompt>loginctl terminate-session c3
|
||
</screen>
|
||
</para>
