SYNOPSIS
       systemd-logind.service
       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind
DESCRIPTION
       systemd-logind is a system service that manages user logins. It is
       responsible for:
       o   Keeping track of users and sessions, their processes and their idle
           state
       o   Providing PolicyKit-based access for users to operations such as
           system shutdown or sleep
       o   Implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition logic for applications
       o   Handling of power/sleep hardware keys
       o   Multi-seat management
       o   Session switch management
       o   Device access management for users
       o   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].
