NAME

       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.
