Process communication in KDE happens with dbus. So whenever you want to 
trigger an action in KDE vom the terminal, this is where you should look.

The first two hits when I searched for "kde dbus logout" are:
https://superuser.com/questions/395820/how-to-properly-end-a-kde-session-from-shell-without-root-privileges
https://discuss.kde.org/t/logout-reboot-and-shutdown-using-the-terminal/743

Perhaps they put you on the right track to your goal.
