Thanks for this! I've long been looking for a way to periodically save
the session state as I've been annoyed by crashes destroying my setup.
So, below is a script I'm now having cron run every 5 minutes.
Michael
#! /bin/sh
. /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
# for getXuser
for x in /tmp/.X11-unix/* ; do
displaynum=`echo $x | sed s,/tmp/.X11-unix/X,,`
getXuser
if [ x"$XAUTHORITY" != x"" ] ; then
export DISPLAY=":$displaynum"
qdbus org.kde.ksmserver
/KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession >
/dev/null
fi
done
exit 0

hello
i am searching for a command line way to save the kde session, since
i'd like to place it into a script along with the command to suspend
the pc
i've found this command:
dcop ksmserver ksmserver saveCurrentSession
do you think it is right ?
Yes, that looks right for KDE3, the KDE4 equivalent should be
qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer
org.kde.KSMServerInterface.saveCurrentSession
Cheers,
Kevin
Is there a line break or word split somewhere there? I'm not running
kde4 yet but would like to have the command in a workable state for
future reference.
Arthur.
