Is it possible to not create new session but rather "reuse" the old session? 2. Would it be better to terminate the session when exiting i3? (something like ```i3-msg exit && loginctl terminate-session```) I am running Fedora 22. --- Why am I asking: I cant use `systemctl reboot` without root (sudo) privileges in the newly created session. UPDATE: I think i found the reason - The two daemons from the output below keep the session from closing. The session exits correctly if the remaining processes are killed also `systemctl reboot` does not require root privileges (Don't know why though). $ loginctl session-status 1 1 - bean (1000) Since: Mon 2015-11-23 12:43:06 CET; 3min 21s ago Leader: 2519 Seat: seat0; vc1 Display: :0 Service: lightdm; type x11; class user State: closing Unit: session-1.scope ├─2899 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog └─3058 redshiftThu, 19 Nov 2015 18:41:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7372/sessions-in-i3-lightdm/Comment by LordFazole for Hi, when I log out from i3 (<code>i3-msg exit</code>) and log in using Lightdm new user session is created, but the old one is still running. <ol> <li>Is it possible to not create new session but rather "reuse" the old session? </li> <li>Would it be better to terminate the session when exiting i3?

Please define "still running".Mon, 23 Nov 2015 08:48:51 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/7372/sessions-in-i3-lightdm/?comment=7402#comment-7402
