Are there existing examples of dbus-send usage that do useful work in the wild? I honestly do not grok dbus communication well enough to be able to parse the example you give usefully from a "get crap done with a shell script" sysadmin point of view. And the errors spawned the what I assume to be non-functional example in the dbus-send on the fc4 manpage leaves my mouth agape and my eyes glassy. If you know of something better than http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-tutorial.html to help sysadmins learn enough about dbus to use dbus-send effectively please let me know. Especially any existing generally useful scripts that exist to do useful work. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
