-====== Linger ======
-By default, users cannot set user services to run at boot time. The admin must enable this on an individual basis for each user. If lingering is enabled for a specific user, a user manager is spawned for the user at boot and kept around after logouts. This allows users who are not logged in to run long-running services. Takes one or more user names or numeric UIDs as argument. If no argument is specified, enables/disables lingering for the user of the session of the caller.
-===== Enable Lingering for user =====
-  loginctl enable-linger $USER
-  loginctl disable-linger $USER
-Or alternatively:
-  touch /var/lib/systemd/linger/$USER
-  rm /var/lib/systemd/linger/$USER
-===== Show status for user =====
-You can show a list of lingering users with:
-  ls /var/lib/systemd/linger
-Or alternatively:
-   loginctl user-status $USER
-===== Check status in scripts =====
