Active TTY/PTS login session, utmp/wtmp & systemd session viewer
Active Login Session Monitor is a desktop login session viewer and historical utmp/wtmp record inspector for Linux workstations and multi-user hosts. An independent Linux alternative to command-line logged-on session utilities such as PsLoggedOn, who, w, and last, it decodes binary utmp and wtmp records alongside live systemd-logind seats and /proc POSIX session groups.
Key Features:
- Binary utmp & wtmp Struct Decoder: Parses native 384-byte x86_64 Linux utmp and wtmp records from /run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp, including USER_PROCESS, LOGIN_PROCESS, DEAD_PROCESS, RUN_LVL, and BOOT_TIME entries.
- Live systemd & /proc Session Grouping: Combines /run/systemd/sessions metadata with /proc/<pid>/stat POSIX session leaders (SID), controlling TTY/PTS devices, and loginuid values so active console, SSH, and WSL sessions are always visible.
- Remote Host & Duration Tracking: Displays TTY/PTS line, seat/type, remote IP or hostname, exact start timestamp, and elapsed session duration.
- Session Timeline & Reports: Renders a visual session activity timeline and user breakdown chart and exports active and historical session tables to CSV and JSON.
