Description

It would be nice if the systemd user instance mapped various logind state changes to target units. Specifically:

• On sleep, take out an inhibitor and start a user sleep.target unit (stopping it on wake).
• When a new session is added (for the user in question), start a session@$SESSION_ID.target user unit.
• When a session is removed start a logout@$SESSION_ID.target unit that conflicts with session@$SESSION_ID.target. It may be sufficient to simply stop session@$SESSION_ID.target but starting a logout target mirrors the system-wide shutdown unit.
