All,

I'm ssh'ed into my office pc and I want to terminate the kde session I left running.

I assume there is something I can kill, etc. that will logout that session. But what is it?

Thanks Greg

Greg, There is a d-bus command you can issue from the command line to achieve this; unfortunately I can't remember what it is and I don't have the magazine article I found it in anywhere nearby right now. Google might help. Of course, you can always do 'init 3' and then 'init 5' again...

If them memory serves, just killing the kdeinit process associated with the session might do the trick.

Boris.

What he said. You could also probably kill startkde as well to end the session. Nkoli -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Supposedly:

dcop --user username --all-sessions ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 0 0

I don't know if that's correct, I don't run KDE. kdcop should help finding out what program/object has a 'logout' function.

dcop is for KDE 3. dcop itself has some ability to browse available objects, methods, etc. There should be a dbus equivalent for KDE 4. qdbus is no kdcop, but it can help you identify what dbus objects, methods, etc. are available. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

I went the init 3; init 5 route. I must say I thought I was asking a trivial question, so I'm surprised at the range of answers.
