dbus-monitor − debug probe to print message bus messages |
dbus-monitor [−−system | −−session] |
The dbus-monitor 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. 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). The −−system and −−session options direct dbus-monitor to monitor the system or session buses respectively. If neither is specified, dbus-monitor monitors the session bus. The message bus configuration may keep dbus-monitor from seeing all messages, especially if you run the monitor as a non-root user. |
--system |
Monitor the system message bus. |
--session |
Monitor the session message bus. (This is the default.) |
