mate-session-save – End or save the current MATE session

Synopsis

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

Description

The mate-session-save program can be used from a MATE session to either end the current MATE session or save a snapshot of the currently running applications (but not both). This session will be later restored at your next MATE session.

Usage

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

If called with the –logout option, the current MATE 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 mate-session-save is called with any of the options ending the session.

Options

–logout: Log out
–force-logout: Log out, ignoring any existing inhibitors
–ogout-dialog: Show logout dialog
–shutdown-dialog: Show shutdown dialog
–gui: Use dialog boxes for errors
–display=DISPLAY: X display to use.
–version: Output version information and exit.
-?, -h, –help: Print standard command line options.
–help-all: Print all command line options.
