.SH "NAME"
mate-session-save \- End or save the current MATE session
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B mate-session-save [\-\-logout] [\-\-force\-logout] [\-\-logout\-dialog] [\-\-shutdown\-dialog] [\-\-gui] [\-\-kill [\-\-silent]]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The \fBmate-session-save\fP program can be used from a MATE session to save a snapshot of the currently running applications. This session will be later restored at your next MATE session.
.SH "USAGE"
The \fB\-\-gui\fP option will report errors in dialog boxes instead of printing to stderr.
.PP
If called with the \fB\-\-logout\fP option, the current MATE session will be ended, unless logging out has been inhibited by an application. The \fB\-\-force\-logout\fP option can be used to end the session regardless of the inhibition state.
.PP
When the \fB\-\-logout\-dialog\fP option is given, the standard dialog displaying logout options is displayed. When \fB\-\-shutdown\-dialog\fP option is given, the standard dialog displaying shutdown options is displayed.
.PP
The \fB\-\-kill\fP and \fB\-\-silent\fP options are deprecated. The \fB\-\-kill\fP option is equivalent to the \fB\-\-logout\-dialog\fP option. If \fB\-\-silent\fP is used with \fB\-\-kill\fR, then it will behave as if \fB\-\-logout\fP was used.
.PP
The session is not saved when \fBmate-session-save\fP is called with any of the options ending the session.
