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.
