NAME

gnome-session-save - Ends the current GNOME session

SYNOPSIS

gnome-session-save [--logout] [--force-logout] [--logout-dialog] [--shutdown-dialog] [--gui] [--kill [--silent]]

DESCRIPTION

gnome-session-save can be used to log out of a GNOME session. It's called gnome-session-save instead of gnome-session-logout for historical reasons.

The --gui option will report errors in dialog boxes instead of printing to stderr.

If called with the --logout option, the current GNOME session will be ended, unless logging out has been inhibited by an application. The --force-logout option can be used to end the session regardless of the inhibition state.

When the --logout-dialog option is given, the standard dialog displaying logout options is displayed. When --shutdown-dialog option is given, the standard dialog displaying shutdown options is displayed.

The --kill and --silent options are deprecated. The --kill option is equivalent to the --logout-dialog option. If --silent is used with --kill, then it will behave as if --logout was used.
