# ukui-session-save(1)

End or save the current UKUI session

## NAME

ukui-session-save - End or save the current UKUI session

## SYNOPSIS

**ukui-session-save \[--logout\] \[--force-logout\] \[--logout-dialog\] \[--shutdown-dialog\] \[--gui\] \[--kill \[--silent\]\]**

## DESCRIPTION

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

## USAGE

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

If called with the **--logout** option, the current UKUI 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 **ukui-session-save** is called with any of the options ending the session.

## OPTIONS

- **--logout**
