If you want to switch user:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -switchToUserID UserID

for UserID



id -u userName

For login window

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend

You are sending the Apple event "aevtlogo" Apple to the application loginwindow

. Have a look at the documentation for the classes NSAppleEvent<Foo>

.
