✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pbs_interactive [R | U]
pbs_interactive --version

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so the pbs_interactive command is the main character for three things, no cap: it registers, unregisters, or gets the version of the PBS_INTERACTIVE service. πŸ’…

heads up though, bestie: the service has to be registered manually β€” the installer does not register it. not even a little. 😭

on Windows, the PBS_INTERACTIVE service itself is the one monitoring logging in and out by users πŸ‘€. it starts a pbs_idled process for each user logging in, and stops the pbs_idled process of each user logging out. slay. ✨

πŸ‘‘ Permission πŸ‘‘

Admin privilege is required to use this command. yes bestie, you need the admin crown πŸ‘‘.

πŸ“ Arguments πŸ“

  • R β€” registers the PBS_INTERACTIVE service. πŸ’–
  • U β€” unregisters the PBS_INTERACTIVE service. 😭
  • --version β€” the pbs_interactive command returns its version information and exits. this option can only be used alone. no side quests, no extra flags, just --version. πŸŽ€
