> non-racy session termination

I've seen a lot of dangling sessions with systemd actually although I'm not sure what the root cause is.

I had to get an intern to basically live in the server room and look for screens saying "stop command for user 1001 waiting 30 seconds... 90 seconds..." etc. and power cycle the machine. It's ludicrous.

In other words, tell me you've never adminned systemd without telling me you've never adminned systemd.

Hint: man systemd.service, look for TimeoutStopSec.

lol no. Never worked. Tell me you've never run systemd in a server room without telling me you've never actually run systemd in a server room.

My comment is embarrassing. I'm sorry for that.
