lxsession-logout vs lxde-logout
I'm new with lxde, I installed it on ubuntu 14.04 using sudo apt-get install lxde. But the problem I have is that I want to logout without a prompt. I've read some articles about this and they suggested one of these: lxsession-logout or lxde-logout. But they cannot be used to logout without a prompt. The question is what are the main differences between them? Is it possible to logout without a prompt on lxde? thanks.

lxde-logout is just a wrapper to lxsession-logout. It's a simple script
% cat /usr/bin/lxde-logout
#!/bin/sh
lxsession-logout --banner "/usr/share/lxde/images/logout-banner.png" --side=top
http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1731 claims you can just send a SIGTERM to lxsession and the PID should be in $_LXSESSION_PID.
So
kill -TERM $_LXSESSION_PID
