## Overview

sessiond is a daemon for **systemd**-based Linux systems that interfaces with

**systemd-logind** to provide session management features to X11 window managers.

Its primary responsibility is to monitor keyboard and mouse activity to

determine when a session has become idle, and to then act accordingly.

It also provides a DBus service with interfaces to backlights and audio sinks.

## Features

* automatic screen locking on session idle and before sleeping

* automatic backlight dimming on session idle

* automatic muting of audio while session is locked

* systemd targets activated by systemd-logind's lock, unlock, sleep,

  and shutdown signals

* hooks triggered by inactivity or signals

* a DBus service

  * backlight interaction

  * audio sink interaction

* (optional) management of DPMS settings
