NAME
       gnome-session-save - saves or terminates the current GNOME session

SYNOPSIS
       gnome-session-save  [--gui]  [--kill]  [--session-name=name] [--silent]
       [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION
       gnome-session-save can be used from a GNOME session to save a  snapshot
       of  the	currently  running  applications.  This	 session will be later
       restored at your next GNOME startup session.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       --gui

	   If specified, then any errors will be displayed in  a  dialog  box.
	   Otherwise,  such  messages are displayed to stderr.	Note that this
	   option has no affect any dialogs that the window manager might dis‐
	   play.

       --kill

	   Terminates  the  GNOME  session.   The session will not be saved if
	   this option is provided, unless the user has configured their  ses‐
	   sion to always save on logout.

       -s, --session-name=name

	   Set name of session to save.

       --silent

	   Avoids  displaying any confirmation or dialogs, including ones that
	   are displayed by the window manager (such as dialogs informing  the
	   user	 about any windows that cannot save session, or session logout
	   confirmation when the --kill option is also used).
