How can I do a KDE "restart" (Found through K Menu->Log Out->Restart)
from the command-line? I figured a regular "reboot" is bad, since
sessions et al is not saved, and programs are probably more abruptly
closed.

To stop or start a GUI session:
Go to a terminal normally ctrl-alt-F1 will do
log on as root
type init 3
this normally will shutdown the GUI
type init 5
this will restart the GUI
go back to the terminal ctrl-alt-F1
Log out as root
type exit

I said normally above since I don't know what distro and though most
will follow the init level rules there is no absolute....

Init 3/init 5 doesn't work on most Debians, which don't do anything
different
in runlevels 2-5. '/etc/rc.d/kdm restart' as root or with sudo should get
the
job done though on both Debians and non-Debians.

I actually want to reboot the computer, like "Restart" does in KDE, and the
suggestions above doesn't do that. In other words, I want to do the KDE
equivalent to /sbin/reboot (but still save session and whatever KDE
does).Btw, I'm using Kubuntu 7.10. Thanks,
