MATE-SESSION-SAVE(1)MATE-SESSION-SAVE(1)NAMEmate-session-save - End or save the current MATE session
SYNOPSISmate-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 run‐
ning 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 display‐
ing 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.
