Overview

xrdp-sesman is xrdp(8) session manager.
It manages user sessions by authenticating the user and starting the appropriate Xserver.

Options

-k, --kill

Kills running xrdp-sesman daemon.

-r, --reload

Reloads running xrdp-sesman daemon.

-h, --help

Output help information and exit.

-v, --version

Output version information and exit.

-n, --nodaemon

Starts xrdp-sesman in foreground instead of starting it as a daemon.

--dump-config

Print the configuration on stdout before starting the daemon. The default is not to do this.

-c, --config

Specify a path to a different sesman.ini file. This option is intended to be used primarily for testing or for unusual configurations.

If you use this option, be aware that you will have to have a /etc/xrdp/sesman.ini in place too, as a few elements of the system (notably xrdp(8) and xrdp-chansrv(8)) will want to read it.

Signals

SIGHUP

Causes xrdp-sesman to reload its configuration. Needed if you're not running xrdp-sesman as a daemon.
