## Keep session running after logout on systemd

Systemd ensures that no processes are accidentally left running after logouts.
One common use case for zellij (and other terminal multiplexers) is to run
processes after logging out and reconnect after logging in later possibly
switching between local and remote (ssh) logins. To achieve this let systemd-run
run zellij from outside of the session scope with:

```
systemd-run --scope --user zellij
```

For more information see example 5 in [systemd-run's man page](https://
www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-run.html).

## List current sessions
List current sessions, attach to a running session, or create a new one.
