.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The \fIdbus-monitor\fP command is used to monitor messages going
|
|
|
|
|
through a D-BUS message bus. See
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about
|
|
|
|
|
the big picture.

|

|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
There are two well-known message buses: the systemwide message bus
|
|
|
|
|
(installed on many systems as the "messagebus" service) and the
|
|
|
|
|
per-user-login-session message bus (started each time a user logs in).

|
|
|
\fIdbus-monitor\fP by default monitors the session bus; to monitor the
|
|
|
|
|
system bus, specify \-\-system.

|
|
The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus-monitor\fP from seeing
|
|
|
|
|
all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user.
