[Solved] [Gnome] Command for invoking shutdown/restart dialog?

Is it possible to invoke the restart/shutdown dialog from within a terminal? I've searched around a bit and on older versions of Gnome there was the command "gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog". Obviously, that command isn't available in recent versions. How can I find out the command for that?

Thanks!

Damn, you're right. I thought that the "gnome-session-quit"-command would immediatly do what you tell it, so I didn't even try. Thanks!
