+ <term><varname>NAutoVTs=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Takes a positive integer. Configures how many
+ virtual terminals (VTs) to allocate by default that, when
+ switched to and are previously unused,
+ <literal>autovt</literal> services are automatically spawned
+ on. These services are instantiated from the template unit
+ <filename>autovt@.service</filename> for the respective VT TTY
+ name, for example, <filename>autovt@tty4.service</filename>.
+ By default, <filename>autovt@.service</filename> is linked to
+ <filename>getty@.service</filename>. In other words, login
+ prompts are started dynamically as the user switches to unused
+ virtual terminals. Hence, this parameter controls how many
+ login <literal>gettys</literal> are available on the VTs. If a
+ VT is already used by some other subsystem (for example, a
+ graphical login), this kind of activation will not be
+ attempted. Note that the VT configured in
+ <varname>ReserveVT=</varname> is always subject to this kind
+ of activation, even if it is not one of the VTs configured
+ with the <varname>NAutoVTs=</varname> directive. Defaults to
+ 6. When set to 0, automatic spawning of
+ <literal>autovt</literal> services is
+ disabled.</para></listitem>

+ <term><varname>ReserveVT=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Takes a positive integer. Identifies one
+ virtual terminal that shall unconditionally be reserved for
+ <filename>autovt@.service</filename> activation (see above).
+ The VT selected with this option will be marked busy
+ unconditionally, so that no other subsystem will allocate it.
+ This functionality is useful to ensure that, regardless of how
+ many VTs are allocated by other subsystems, one login
+ <literal>getty</literal> is always available. Defaults to 6
+ (in other words, there will always be a
+ <literal>getty</literal> available on Alt-F6.). When set to 0,
+ VT reservation is disabled.</para></listitem>

+ ended). Defaults to <literal>no</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that setting <varname>KillUserProcesses=1</varname>

+
+ <listitem><para>Specifies the maximum time a system shutdown

+ <listitem><para>Controls whether actions triggered by the

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>HoldoffTimeoutSec=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Specifies the timeout after system startup or
+ system resume in which elogind will hold off on reacting to
+ LID events. This is required for the system to properly
+ detect any hotplugged devices so elogind can ignore LID events
+ if external monitors, or docks, are connected. If set to 0,
+ elogind will always react immediately, possibly before the
+ kernel fully probed all hotplugged devices. This is safe, as
+ long as you do not care for elogind to account for devices
+ that have been plugged or unplugged while the system was off.
+ Defaults to 30s.</para></listitem>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>RuntimeDirectorySize=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Sets the size limit on the
+ <varname>$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR</varname> runtime directory for each
+ user who logs in. Takes a size in bytes, optionally suffixed
+ with the usual K, G, M, and T suffixes, to the base 1024
+ (IEC). Alternatively, a numerical percentage suffixed by
+ <literal>%</literal> may be specified, which sets the size
+ limit relative to the amount of physical RAM. Defaults to 10%.
+ Note that this size is a safety limit only. As each runtime
+ directory is a tmpfs file system, it will only consume as much
+ memory as is needed. </para></listitem>

+ <term><varname>RemoveIPC=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Controls whether System V and POSIX IPC
+ objects belonging to the user shall be removed when the user
+ fully logs out. Takes a boolean argument. If enabled, the user
+ may not consume IPC resources after the last of the user's
+ sessions terminated. This covers System V semaphores, shared
+ memory and message queues, as well as POSIX shared memory and
+ message queues. Note that IPC objects of the root user are
