dbus-send(1) User Commands dbus-send(1) NAME
dbus-send - Send a message to a message bus SYNOPSIS
dbus-send [--system | --session] [--dest=name] [--help] [--print-reply] [--type=type] destination_object_path message_name [contents...] DESCRIPTION
The dbus-send command is used to send a message to a D-Bus message bus. There are two standard message buses: o systemwide message bus - Disabled and not supported on Solaris, but installed on many systems as the "messagebus" init service. o per-user-login-session message bus - Enabled and supported on Solaris, and started each time a user logs in. The --system and --session options direct dbus-send to send messages to the system or session buses respectively. If neither is speci- fied, dbus-send sends to the session bus. Nearly all uses of dbus-send must provide the --dest argument which is the name of a connection on the bus to send the message to. If --dest is omitted, no destination is set. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --dest=name Specify the name of the connection to receive the message. --help Show help information on standard output and exit. --print-reply Block for a reply to the message sent, and print any reply received. --session Send to the session message bus (this is the default). --system Send to the system message bus. The system bus is disabled and unsupported on Solaris. --type=type Specify "method_call" or "signal" (defaults to "signal"). OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: destination_object_path The object path of the message to send must always be specified. message_name The name of the message to send must always be specified. contents Following arguments, if any, are the message contents (message arguments). These 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, bool- ean. (D-Bus supports more types than these, but dbus-send currently does not.) EXAMPLES
Example 1: How to use dbus-send with a sh-compatible shell to start the per-session bus daemon example% dbus-send --dest='org.freedesktop.ExampleName /org/freedesktop/sample/object/name org.freedesktop.ExampleInterface.ExampleMethod int32:47 string:'hello world' double:65.32 Note that the interface is separated from a method or signal name by a dot, though in the actual protocol the interface and the interface member are separate fields. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
