How do I save the current session without logging off?

I would like to know if there is a way to save a user's current session in KDE without having to log off and log back in, as a way to update sessions in case something happens like a power failure or the pc locks up..........

Thanx :)

Enable the session management option "start with user saved session" (or something similar)

This enabled a new option in the KMenu which lets you save the current session.

Thank you, anda_skoa :D

I found the option "Restore manually saved session" in the Session Manager, which did the trick..............

Now, is there a way to do it thru the command line, suitable for a cron job, to periodically save the session automatically?

Many thanx :D

..Now, is there a way to do it thru the command line, suitable for a cron job, to periodically save the session automatically?...

I found the answer to this at dot.kde.org: how do I save my session?

This is the command to issue according to that page at dot.kde.org: [code:1]dcop ksmserver default saveCurrentSession
[/code:1]

Now I can save the session periodically, thru the command line, and still save the current session when logging out using the "Restore previous session" in the Session Manager.......
