It tells me about all the sessions I've started and left behind:-

root at garage:~# ck-list-sessions
Session115:
        uid = '1000'
        realname = 'Chris,,,'
        seat = 'Seat19'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/ssh'
        remote-host-name = 'home.isbd.net'
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2009-01-26T15:05:29.778207Z'
Session116:
        uid = '0'
        realname = 'root'
        seat = 'Seat20'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = 'localhost:10.0'
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/pts/0'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2009-01-26T15:07:30.427342Z'
Session117:
        uid = '1000'
        realname = 'Chris,,,'
        seat = 'Seat21'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/ssh'
        remote-host-name = 'home.isbd.net'
        is-local = FALSE
        on-since = '2009-01-26T15:11:28.430040Z'
Session118:
        uid = '0'
        realname = 'root'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = FALSE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/pts/1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2009-01-26T15:11:51.675963Z'


When I do "ck-launch-session" nothing actually happens, nothing
appears on the screen or anything, it just returns to the prompt.
