1.1.1 What Is a Session?
A session is the period of time from
when you log in to when you log out. The login screen offers several
login options. For example, you can select the language of your
session so that text that appears in the SLED interface is presented
in that language.
After your username and password are authenticated, the Session
Manager starts. The Session Manager lets you save certain settings
for each session. It also lets you save the state of your most recent
session and return to that session the next time you log in.
The Session Manager can save and restore the following settings:
- Appearance and behavior settings,
such as fonts, colors, and mouse settings.
- Applications that you were running. such as a file
manager or an OpenOffice.org program.
HINT:You cannot save and restore applications that Session Manager
does not manage. For example, if you start the vi editor from the
command line in a terminal window, Session Manager cannot restore
your editing session.
