# Wayland Logout

Wayland Logout is a utility designed to kill any wayland compositor that uses libwayland-server. It looks up the PID for the socket file by checking the socket path environment variables and sends a SIGTERM signal. This is useful as a way to logout of a wayland compositor, as the name implies.

### Installing

```

$ meson build

$ ninja -C build

# ninja -C build install

```

### Example usage

To end the wayland compositor session:

```

wayland-logout

```

To end a particular compositor instance by socket file:

```

WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/run/user/1000/wayland-2 wayland-logout

```

To have the compositor exit after a running client completes, useful for using the compositor as a desktop manager:

```

gtkgreet -l && wayland-logout

```
