there is no standard way to trigger a Session Save.
it will be session manager dependent.

pyjacksm has a dbus interface. but i wouldnt consider it stable as of
yet.

i dont really see the relation to jack session.
only 10% of such an app would be jack session related. 
i dont really think would be a good demo of jack-session.

but maybe i am wrong.
i tend to think that patches which add session support are better
examples.

this is the patch for seq24:
