Logout command before reboot (safe reboot)

Hi,
I want to safely close all apps and exit plasma session and then run reboot command .
Something like this:

 qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer logout 0 0 0 && systemctl reboot --full --firmware-setup 

However the above command doesn't work as expected
Please consider that I want to reboot to "firmware-setup"

Re: Logout command before reboot (safe reboot)

What doesn't work as expected and by which means/for what purpose do you believe to get "more safety" via an explicit logout? a reboot will lead to a normal session shutdown process and "kindly" send TERM requests to all applications. For the vast majority of tools there will be no difference between a KDE session logout and doing this.

The command never reach to

systemctl reboot --full --firmware-setup 

part and it only do logout from plasma

a reboot will lead to a normal session shutdown process and "kindly" send TERM requests to all applications. For the vast majority of tools there will be no difference between a KDE session logout and doing this.

I'm not sure about this, cause with plasma I can see closing animation of programs and when everything done it's goes to black screen, but with systemctl reboot it will go straight to black in a fraction of second.
I don't have good feeling about this behavior, correct me if I'm wrong

If you're worried about that, you can enter firmware via KDE itself through System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Desktop Session
