A utility designed to kill a single instance of a wayland compositor.
Wayland Logout
Wayland Logout is a utility designed to kill any wayland compositor that uses libwayland-server. It looks up the PID for the socket file by checking the socket path environment variables and sends a SIGTERM signal. This is useful as a way to logout of a wayland compositor, as the name implies.
Installing
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
# ninja -C build install
Example usage
To end the wayland compositor session:
wayland-logout
To end a particular compositor instance by socket file:
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=/run/user/1000/wayland-2 wayland-logout
To have the compositor exit after a running client completes, useful for using the compositor as a desktop manager:
gtkgreet -l && wayland-logout
