ubuntu logout command line

[COKEDUDE]

how about:

 sudo reboot

concise and to the point...

It's funny because just last week I was wondering how to do this.

I wanna logout not reboot .

I wanna logout not reboot .

I guess my reply was more directed at post #3's sudo shutdown -r now to reboot. sudo reboot is a lot less typing.

if ps ax | grep 1859
then 
echo hi
/usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill --silent
exit 0 
fi

Every process has a number.

I need it to ignore the grep filtering process.

try this instead:

top -b -n 1 | grep firefox

use whatever process name is appropriate.

that doesn't avoid the issue that the OP is having. grep still finds itself in the output of ps

Im' not sure what youre trying to say. Wouldn't it just check if Firefoxs process is running by using it's process number?

Besides the command listed below are there any other useful logout commands, to log out of ubuntu? I was quite surprised that logout doesn't work. Logout tells you to use exit and exit only closes your terminal window.

gnome-session-save --kill --silent

you need to kill Xorg and then try the logout command.

I was just assuming the rest of his code worked. If the script were executed as root in the if statment Id put

service gdm restart

TBH your kid or whomever is just going to install Chrome or something. Stop network manager instead cutting off the internet at 1 and beyond, and turn it on after 8.

This is what I get when firefox is not running.

ps ax | grep firefox-3.6.3
 3374 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --colour=auto firefox-3.6.3

I need it to ignore the grep filtering process.

Try one of this:

ps ax | grep [f]irefox
pgrep firefox

no. it will check for any process that uses that set of characters. that would include grep. just try it.
