Hello All,
Could someone tell me, please, how root can closes a user's (or all user's) KDE3 session(s) for it/them to be closed properly, before executing poweroff. I suppose that there will be the need of some --force flag, because some open windows like Yast or KEdit with an open modified file, but if such a flag does not exists, root can "sleep" a time long enougth before executing Poweroff, to give (me) a chance to handle/close the hanging windows. I hope that my question is well expressed !
kwin ?, kdeinit ? kdesktop ? dcopserver ? ksmserver ? Nothing evident...
Thank you, Patrick

# killall startkde; poweroff
logs out KDE3 user with only Konsole running and powers down in 13.2. killall is in package psmisc.

----------------- Thank you Felix,
It does not seem that it passed correctly. The kate session is not as I saved it (I've to check carefully) and Amarock, for sure, did not start the reading from the last read position.
I found this code from forums.opensuse.org: || qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 0 0 0 but does not work on my Oss13.2+KDE3
Typing qdbus --help

The objective is to pass this command trought the "kdesu" command. This command execute some savegard using "rsync" then "poweroff"
Thank you Patrick

It's not clear to me whether you found a solution. If not, maybe the one described on https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-832639.html can be adapted to KDE3 and root.

--------------- Hi Felix,
I tryed the part qdbus of the proposed script, and the result is still bad. But my solution is this one: Atl+F2 then typing (or up arrow until) « kdesu "umount /linux/seag2_save/ ; mount /linux/seag2_save/ && (rsync -a --delete /home/user/ /linux/seag2_save/Sauvegardes/user_♣/ ; aplay /opt/kde3/share/sounds/k3b_success1.wav ; sleep 30 ; poweroff)" » So that after the asault audio signal, I have 30 seconds to close the session, or the clising will be brutal.
Thank you, Patrick
