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). +Right now, \fIdbus-monitor\fP is hardcoded to only work with the +systemwide message bus. It should really be extended to have a +\-\-session command line option as with \fIdbus-send\fP. + +.PP +The message bus configuration may keep \fIdbus-monitor\fP from seeing +all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user. + +.SH OPTIONS +No options are currently supported. + +.SH AUTHOR +dbus-monitor was written by Philip Blundell. + +.SH BUGS +Please send bug reports to the D-BUS mailing list or bug tracker, +see http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ |
