Save xfce4 session from the command-line
5
I usually save the session with the graphical app xfce4-session-settings (Session -> Save Session). Can this be also done from the command-line? How?

Looking at the source, the client appears to be in settings/session-editor.c . The part that saves seems to send a message through this:xfsm_manager_dbus_client_checkpoint(manager_dbus_proxy, "", &error)but it seems to also get asynchronous answers. Perhaps you can create a non graphical version from it? I mean a new program.

@A.B Thanks for the pointers, if there is no CLI command, I'll check it out.

@guest123 pointed to this page. Basically, to save the current session, run this:
$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.xfce.SessionManager --print-reply
/org/xfce/SessionManager org.xfce.Session.Manager.Checkpoint string:""
It works for me with Xfce 4.12.
