NAME

       openvpn3-service-sessionmgr - OpenVPN 3 Linux Session Manager Service

SYNOPSIS

       openvpn3-service-sessionmgr [OPTIONS]
       openvpn3-service-sessionmgr -h | --help

DESCRIPTION

       The  openvpn3-service-sessionmgr  is  a  backend  service  for  OpenVPN 3 Linux, responsible for managing
       running OpenVPN sessions.  Once a VPN session has been started,  either  via  openvpn3  session-start  or
       openvpn2,   it  will  run  in the background as a D-Bus service as long as it has at least one active VPN
       session running.

       Only one session manager process can run on the system.

       VPN sessions are managed via the openvpn3 session-manage and openvpn3 session-acl commands  and  new  VPN
       sessions are started using the openvpn3 session-start command.

       This  service  is  normally  started automatically when needed, via the net.openvpn.v3.sessionmgr.service
       auto-start configuration by the dbus-daemon(1), but can also be started manually  on  the  command  line.
       This process should run as the _openvpn user and will automatically switch to this user account if it has
       the needed privileges to do so.  Beware that changing this to another user account also requires updating
       the D-Bus policy as well.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Print  usage and help details to the terminal

       --version
              Prints the version of the program and exists

       --log-level LEVEL
              Sets the default log verbosity for log events generated by this service.  The default is 3.  Valid
              values  are  0  to 6.  Higher log levels results in more verbose logs and log level 6 will contain
              all debug log events.

       --log-file LOG_DESTINATION
              By default, logging will go via the openvpn3-service-log service.   By  providing  this  argument,
              logging  will also be sent to LOG_DESTINATION, which can be either a filename or stdout: where the
              latter one sends log data to the console.

       --colour
              This will add colours to log events when logging to file or terminal.  Log events will be coloured
              based on the log level of the event.

       --idle-exit MINUTES
              The openvpn3-service-sessionmgr service will exit automatically if it is being  idle  for  MINUTES
              minutes.   By  being idle, it means no VPN sessions are running and managed by this service.  This
              can be validated by running openvpn3  sessions-list.   If  this  results  in  an  empty  list,  no
              configuration profiles are being managed.
