Logging off a Linux Machine from a Java Program

[napa1m]

Hi, is it possible to log off a Linux machine from inside a Java program? I thought there might be two ways to do this:
1) Call the Logoff terminal command.
2) Or is there a way of coding it by calling an appropriate method?

Please help me! I've searched the web and tried looking it up in some Java books to no avail. Thanks alot everyone... Napa1m

I do not know if it would work or not, but you could try
Process p; //Need a process, getting another program
Runtime r=Runtime.getRuntime(); //Need the Current Runtime
p=r.exec("logout" //Execute program (maybe a command as well?) from the current runtime.

I have no idea if would work logout being part of a shell, but you could try it.
