"loginctl list-sessions" will show what sessions exit, and "loginctl show-session ID" will show the properties of the session identified by ID. In the show-session output, the "Active" property will tell you whether the session is active or not (if it's active, the session's user should have access to the devices of the session's seat). I don't know how the session creation works. -- Tanu
