NAME
       systemd-logind.service, systemd-logind - 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

       ·   Providing 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) on virtual console
	   activation and user runtime directory management

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

       See 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.

       See the logind D-Bus API Documentation[2] for information about the
       APIs systemd-logind provides.

       For more information on the inhibition logic see the Inhibitor Lock
       Developer Documentation[3].
