# User Sessions {#sec-user-sessions}
|
|
|
|
Systemd keeps track of all users who are logged into the system (e.g. on
|
|
a virtual console or remotely via SSH). The command `loginctl` allows
|
|
querying and manipulating user sessions. For instance, to list all user
|
|
sessions:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
$ loginctl
|
|
SESSION UID USER SEAT
|
|
c1 500 eelco seat0
|
|
c3 0 root seat0
|
|
c4 500 alice
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
$ loginctl session-status c3
|
|
c3 - root (0)
|
|
Since: Tue, 2013-01-08 01:17:56 CET; 4min 42s ago
|
|
Leader: 2536 (login)
|
|
Seat: seat0; vc3
|
|
TTY: /dev/tty3
|
|
Service: login; type tty; class user
|
|
State: online
|
|
CGroup: name=systemd:/user/root/c3
|
|
├─ 2536 /nix/store/10mn4xip9n7y9bxqwnsx7xwx2v2g34xn-shadow-4.1.5.1/bin/login --
|
|
├─10339 -bash
|
|
└─10355 w3m nixos.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```ShellSession
|
|
# loginctl terminate-session c3
|
|
```
