How do I log out via terminal?
 
I know how to sudo reboot & sudo shutdown -h now, but not logout!

klearview 02-07-2012 05:05 PM
exit

LAPIII 02-07-2012 05:16 PM
I meant logout & go to the login screen.

If you enter 'exit' in the terminal, you go to the login screen. If you meant terminal emulator or SSH connection - that's a different matter.

I guess exit just won't work in 11.10 with these configurations:


Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jconti/gnome3

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install indicator-applet indicator-applet-complete indicator-applet-session

or just use Ctrl+d to logout.:)

Ctrl+d takes you out of your terminal.

exit certainly does not work for me either. Hardly ever log out but thought I would give it a whack.

I use Debian testing so I don't think there should be much difference in terminal commands like this. I use plain halt in my root terminal to shut down.

Actually for me on Ubuntu precise (12.04) :
Code:
/usr/bin/gnome-session-quit --no-prompt
work

Thanks klearview, "exit" worked perfectly for me. Command line in server is all new to me so am all at sea as yet with what and how I'm doing things in 12.04
Cheers

exit doesn't log one out

entering "exit" in the terminal will close terminal. This certainly has nothing to do with logging out.

Doesn't work in Lubuntu

This doesn't work in Lubuntu's LX terminal, when I enter "/usr/bin/gnome-session-quit --no-prompt" in the terminal I only get back a "** (gnome-session-quit:13804): WARNING **: Failed to call logout: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files".

Actually, it has. If you log in on a virtual terminal (not a terminal emulator) or connect via SSH or Telnet to a machine the exit command will log you out.

This advice yields:
a@SAM:~$ gnome-session-save --logout
gnome-session-save: command not found
a@SAM:~$ gnome-session-save --force-logout
gnome-session-save: command not found
a@SAM:~$ gnome-session-save --help
gnome-session-save: command not found
I even tried to install the "gnome" command above, only to encounter:
a@SAM:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-session-save

Lubuntu: Solution
 
Below are some commands that ended up working on my Lubuntu 12.10 (LXDE,non virtual boot):
sudo pkill -u username
sudo service lightdm restart

Worked beautifully!!
