Logout from OS X via the Terminal
Authored by: IanWalker on Feb 21, '05 01:13:59PM

cmd+shift+Q quits all apps and logs out (you'll have to hit the return or enter key as well, or just wait the two minutes and it'll do it anyhow). The keyboard shortcut is listed right next to the "Log Out [username]..." item on the Apple menu. Seemed obvious to me.

Logout from OS X via the Terminal

I was thinking the same thing! I use Command-Shift-Q all the time to logout... I never use the mouse.

I often notice the trend on MOSXH if for complicated solutions to simple problems! Users will write complex scripts to do something already built into the system... I do enjoy their ingenuity however!

A lot of clever people here. :)

Even better is Command + Option + Shift + Q -- no need to press Return/Enter.

Also, if you push command + option + shift + Q, it will bypass the dialog asking if you want to log out and automatically log you out!
