💖 xrdp-sesman(8) — the session manager era 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the xrdp-sesman manual page, section 8 of the manual. she's the session manager that ships with xrdp(8) and honestly? she's the one holding the whole vibe together. let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xrdp-sesman — the session manager bestie for xrdp(8). that's it, that's the name. 💅

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

here's every way you can call her, fr fr:

xrdp-sesman --kill
xrdp-sesman --reload
xrdp-sesman --help
xrdp-sesman --version
xrdp-sesman [--nodaemon] [--dump-config] [--config /path/to/sesman.ini]

no cap, that's the whole menu. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, xrdp-sesman is the xrdp(8) session manager. that's her whole job title.

she manages user sessions — meaning she authenticates the user and starts the appropriate Xserver. that's the tea. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -k, --kill — kills the running xrdp-sesman daemon. bye bestie 💀
  • -r, --reload — reloads the running xrdp-sesman daemon. glow-up, not a restart. 🔥
  • -h, --help — spits out help info and dips. output help information and exit.
  • -v, --version — spits out version info and dips. output version information and exit.
  • -n, --nodaemon — starts xrdp-sesman in the foreground instead of starting it as a daemon. main character energy, no hiding in the background. 👑
  • --dump-config — prints the configuration on stdout before starting the daemon. the default is not to do this, so it's opt-in only. 🎀
  • -c, --config — lets you specify a path to a different sesman.ini file. this option is intended to be used primarily for testing or for unusual configurations, so don't just casually swap it for no reason bestie. 🙈
⚠️ if you use this option, be aware that you will have to have a /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini in place too, because a few elements of the system — notably xrdp(8) and xrdp-chansrv(8) — will want to read it. so yeah, the original stays. no deleting. 💀

🌈 SIGNALS 🌈

  • SIGHUP — causes xrdp-sesman to reload its configuration. this one is needed if you're not running xrdp-sesman as a daemon. yep, even foreground girlies need their refresh. 💅
