Run a slash command from a button

Hi all

I currently have a macro to toggle the frame stack, I wish to build a button that will run /fstack rather than using a macro.

Further, I wish to have a button that will /logout: I have read that ForceLogout() is protected so I cannot just add it to a button onClick function.

Is there a way that I can build a button that will run a slash command?

Lua Code:
  1. local f1 = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIParent, "SecureActionButtonTemplate, UIPanelButtonTemplate")
  2. f1:SetSize(80, 30)
  3. f1:SetPoint("CENTER")
  4. f1:SetText("Logout")
  5. f1:SetAttribute("type", "macro")
  6. f1:SetAttribute("macrotext", "/logout")
  7.  
  8. local f2 = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIParent, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
  9. f2:SetSize(80, 30)
  10. f2:SetPoint("TOP", f1, "BOTTOM")
  11. f2:SetText("FStack")
  12. f2:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
  13.     if not FrameStackTooltip_Toggle then
  14.         LoadAddOn("Blizzard_DebugTools")
  15.     end
  16.     FrameStackTooltip_Toggle()
  17. end)
