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 ses-
     sion will be later restored at your next GNOME startup  ses-
     sion.

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 display.



     --kill

         Terminates the GNOME session.  The session will  not  be
         saved  if  this  option is provided, unless the user has
         configured their session 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).
