This behaviour is controlled by the + KillUserProcesses=yes|no setting in logind.conf, and previous default + of "no" is now changed to "yes". This means that user sessions will + be properly cleaned up after, but additional steps are necessary to + allow intentionally long-running processes to survive logout. + + While the user is logged in at least once, user@.service is running, + and any service that should survive the end of any individual login + session can be started at a user service or scope using systemd-run. + systemd-run(1) man page has been extended with an example which + shows how to run screen in a scope unit underneath user@.service. + The same command works for tmux. + + After the user logs out of all sessions, user@.service will be + terminated too, by default, unless the user has "lingering" enabled. + To effectively allow users to run long-term tasks even if they are + logged out, lingering must be enabled for them. See loginctl(1) for + details. The default polkit policy was modified to allow users to + set lingering for themselves without authentication. + + Previous defaults can be restored at compile time by the + --without-kill-user-processes option. * The unified cgroup hierarchy added in Linux 4.5 is now supported.
