+NOTE: The LTTng project recommends that you start the session daemon at
+boot time for stable and long-term tracing.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+For an unprivileged Unix user running `lttng-sessiond`, the maximum
+number of file descriptors per process is usually 1024. This limits the
+number of traceable applications, since, for each instrumented
+application, there are two file descriptors per CPU as well as one
+socket for bidirectional communication.
+
+For the `root` user, the limit is usually 65,535.

+Recording session configuration loading
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+When the session daemon starts, it loads recording session
+configurations from:
+
+Without the option:--load option::
+ In this order:
++
+--
+. All the files in `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions/auto`.
++
+`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`.
+
+. All the files in +{system_sessions_auto_dir}+.
+--
++
+`lttng-sessiond` only loads recording session configuration files from
+the directories above if its UID and their UID are the same.
+
+With the option:--load='PATH' option::
+ 'PATH' is a directory:::
+ All the files in 'PATH'.
+
+ 'PATH' is a file:::
+ The file 'PATH'.
