GNOME-SESSION-SAVE(1)					      General Commands Manual					     GNOME-SESSION-SAVE(1)

NAME

       gnome-session-save - Saves or 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 from a GNOME session to save a snapshot of the currently running applications.	This session will be later
       restored at your next GNOME session.

       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.

       The session is not saved when gnome-session-save is called with any of the options ending the session.
