#### 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.
