       systemd-logind.service, systemd-logind - systemd Login Manager

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-logind.service

       /usr/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; 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.

       User sessions are registered in logind via the pam_systemd(8) PAM
       module.

       See systemd-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.
