xfce4-session-logout(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   xfce4-session-logout(1)

NAME

       xfce4-session-logout - Logs out from Xfce

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-session-logout

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session-logout command.

       The  xfce4-session-logout  command allows you to programmatically logout from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display
       the logout confirmation screen, or, if given one of the command-line options below, causes the session manager to take the requested action
       immediately.

OPTIONS

       xfce4-session-logout takes the following command line options:

       --logout
	      Log out without displaying the logout dialog.

       --halt Halt without displaing the logout dialog.

       --reboot
	      Reboot without displaying the logout dialog.

       --suspend
	      Suspend without displaying the logout dialog.

       --hibernate
	      Hibernate without displaying the logout dialog.

       --fast Do a fast shutdown.  This instructs the session manager not to save the session, but instead to quit everything quickly.

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.
