"Switch User" command?

Does anyone know what is the command to switch user on Gnome? Need it for a custom menu entry.
Thanks.

Hi, if you mean how to switch user in terminal, try this:

 su user 

Repalce user with desired username

Consider having a look at gdm's manpage.

I mean actually starting a new session with another user, like you do through the user menu on Gnome 3.
