Bug#384115: gnome-session: Logout/Shutdown/Reboot via command line

[Francois Gouget]

Note that it's possible to do at least some of these from the command 
line:

* Reboot
  dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
      /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
      "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart"

* Shutdown
  dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit \
      /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager \
      "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop"

* Suspend to RAM
  dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower \
      /org/freedesktop/UPower "org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend"

* Hibernate
  dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower \ 
      /org/freedesktop/UPower "org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate"


The automated log out case may be harder though. See CloseSession():
