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 \-\-system and \-\-session options direct \fIdbus-monitor\fP to
monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is
specified, \fIdbus-monitor\fP monitors the session bus.

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-send\fP sends messages to the session bus by default, and
to the system bus if you specify \-\-system.
The \-\-system and \-\-session options direct \fIdbus-send\fP to send
messages to the system or session buses respectively. If neither is
specified, \fIdbus-send\fP sends to the session bus.
.PP
Nearly all uses of \fIdbus-send\fP must provide the \-\-dest
argument which is the name of a service on the bus to send
the message to. The other required argument is the name
of the message to send. Following arguments are the message
contents (message arguments).
Nearly all uses of \fIdbus-send\fP must provide the \-\-dest argument
which is the name of a service on the bus to send the message to. If
\-\-dest is omitted, a default service name of
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Broadcast" is used.
.PP
The message arguments are given as a type name, a colon,
and then the value of the argument. The possible type names
are: string, int32, uint32, double, byte, boolean.
D-BUS supports more types than these, but \fIdbus-send\fP
does not currently.
The name of the message to send must always be specified. Following
