# NAME
|

seatd-launch - Start a process with its own seatd instance
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
seatd-launch starts a seatd instance with a dedicated socket path, waits for it
|
|
to be ready, and starts the specified command with SEATD_SOCK set
|
|
appropriately. Once the specified command terminates, the seatd instance is
|
|
also terminated.
|
|
|
|
seatd requires root privileges to perform its tasks. This can be achieved
|
|
through SUID of seatd-launch, *sudo(8)*/*doas(1)*, or by running seatd-launch
|
|
as root. seatd-launch will drop privileges from the effective user to the real
|
|
user before running the specified command. If the real user is root, this is
|
|
simply a noop - only run directly as root if you intend for the specified
|
|
command to run as root as well.
|
|
|
|
seatd-launch serves a similar purpose to the libseat "builtin" backend, but is
|
|
superior to it for two reasons:
|
|
. The specified command never runs as root
|
|
. The standard seatd executable and libseat backend is used
|
|
