If the functionality one is looking for is available in the user interface as an action (menu entry, toolbar button) it can often be activated via DCOP through the DCOP interface named "qt" For example do this dcop kate qt objects | grep save It returns a list of Qt objects, for example qt/KXMLGUIClient-KActionCollection/file_save_all You can then check this object's interface like this dcop kate qt/KXMLGUIClient-KActionCollection/file_save_all You'll find a function called "activate" which will execute the same code as clicking on the action would have. Another idea for the topic would be to check what the applications in question do on session save, i.e. saving initiated by the session manager. If this is sufficient, session saving can also be triggered by DCOP if ksmserver is used as the session manager.
