seatd-launch(1)
# NAME
seatd-launch - Start a process with its own seatd instance
# SYNOPSIS
*seatd-launch* [options] [--] command
# OPTIONS
*-h*
Show help message and quit.
*-s <path>*
Where to create the seatd socket. Defaults to a unique file path.
*-v*
Show the version number and quit.
# 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 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. You
should only run seatd-launch 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
# SEE ALSO
The libseat library, *<libseat.h>*, *seatd*(1)
