✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this is logoutd — the LOGOUTD(8) icon from the System Management Commands crew, and her whole job is to enforce login time restrictions. Periodt. 🕒💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

logoutd

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So logoutd is literally the enforcer for the login time and port restrictions that are specified in /etc/porttime. No cap. 🫶

She should be started from /etc/rc. The /var/run/utmp file is scanned periodically, and each user name is checked to see if the named user is permitted on the named port at the current time. And the way that works is very main character energy: any login session that is violating the restrictions in /etc/porttime is terminated. 😭💀

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/porttime — File containing port access. 🗂️
  • /var/run/utmp — List of current login sessions. 📋
