<para>
<command>&cmd;</command> is a utility that causes ConsoleKit to add or delete
a ConsoleKit session in a dymanic fashion. When adding a session, the
<option>-display-type</option> option must be specified. When deleting a
session, the <option>-session-id</option> option must be specified.
</para>
<para>
To use <command>&cmd;</command>, it must be run as the same user which is
running the main ConsoleKit daemon, which is normally the root user. Otherwise
the request is ignored.
</para>
<para>
When adding a session, the <option>-seat-id</option> option works as follows:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
If <option>-seat-id=<replaceable>id</replaceable></option> is provided and this
seat exists, then a new session will be added to that seat.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
If <option>-seat-id=<replaceable>id</replaceable></option> is provided, but
this seat does not exist, then a new seat with the specified seat.
<replaceable>id</replaceable> is created, and a new session added to that seat.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
If <option>-seat-id=<replaceable>id</replaceable></option> is not given, a new
seat <replaceable>id</replaceable> (Seat#) will be generated, and a new session
added to that seat.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
Note that to delete a session which is running on a particular DISPLAY, it
may be necessary to run the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>ck\-list\-sessions</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
command to find the corresponding session ID for a given DISPLAY.

<variablelist termlength="wholeline">

<term><option role="nodash"><replaceable>variable</replaceable></option></term>
<listitem>

The <replaceable>variable</replaceable> operand is only available when adding a
sesssion. The command to run when starting a session is specified in a
ConsoleKit display configuration file named
where <replaceable>display_type</replaceable> is specified by the
<option>-display-type</option> option. This file is in standard INI format.
</para>

<para>
Arguments that start with the "$" sign are variables. The values
for these variables can be specified with the
<replaceable>variable</replaceable> operand. For example, if this value is
"display=:0,vt=vt9", this would set the "$display"
argument to ":0" and the "$vt" argument to "vt9".
