Bug Description

When enabling KillUserProcesses=yes in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, user background processes and logind sessions aren't actually being killed/cleaned up after logout. This works fine under systemd, but not under upstart with systemd-shim.

= Original report =

Currently, logout produces the following error in upstart systems:

systemd-logind[15351]: Failed to abandon scope session-c7.scope
systemd-logind[15351]: Failed to abandon session scope: No such interface 'org.freedesktop.systemd1.Scope' on object at path /org/freedesktop/systemd1/unit/session_2dc7_2escope

Whlie the cgroup is being autoremoved when empty, the more important bug is that StopSession won't forcibly kill the cgroup. These methods should be added at some point.

I know that the patch for this is not finalized (ongoing discussion with upstream regarding the proper way to implement it), but I'm going to sign off on this FFe on the grounds that this is a discrete new dbus interface that will not impact the rest of the existing code.

(BTW, please avoid marking FFe bugs as 'triaged' as this means they are not in the release team's queue.)

This is not Debian bug #756076. That is about cleaning up "closing" loginctl sessions after logging out (which I implemented in upstream git now). But this bug is about actually killing the leftover background processes in the cgroup and the logind session if KillUserProcesses=yes is set in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. (At least how I understand it).
