Some time ago I struggled with that, because I wanted to use lightdm, and lightdm would not play well with the session, which could not be rebooted/shutdown and so on.

Do you mean from inside openbox or from lightdm? For lightdm no need to overcomplicate. You could have searched the forum and found:

Reason: lightdm is expecting systemd. The fix is easy (for both) edit /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter with your preferred text editor (root privileges). Change
session optional pam_systemd.so
to
session optional pam_elogind.so

Then reboot.
If it still doesn’t work, you may need to install policykit-1 and/or pm-utils, but hopefully not.

No need for installing anything else.
If it is from inside openbox, you need to see what dependencies does the session-manager program used by openbox need to manage this.

Search the antiX forums first.
