dbus-run-session(1)

NAME

   dbus-run-session - start a process as a new D-Bus session

SYNOPSIS

   dbus-run-session [--config-file FILENAME] [--dbus-daemon BINARY] [--]
                    PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]

   dbus-run-session --help

   dbus-run-session --version

DESCRIPTION

   dbus-run-session is used to start a session bus instance of dbus-daemon
   from a shell script, and start a specified program in that session. The
   dbus-daemon will run for as long as the program does, after which it
   will terminate.

   One use is to run a shell with its own dbus-daemon in a text-mode or
   SSH session, and have the dbus-daemon terminate automatically on
   leaving the sub-shell, like this:

   dbus-run-session -- bash

   or to replace the login shell altogether, by combining dbus-run-session
   with the exec builtin:

   exec dbus-run-session -- bash

   Another use is to run regression tests and similar things in an
   isolated D-Bus session, to avoid either interfering with the "real"
   D-Bus session or relying on there already being a D-Bus session active,
   for instance:

   dbus-run-session -- make check

   or (in automake(1)):

         AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = export MY_DEBUG=all;
         LOG_COMPILER = dbus-run-session
         AM_LOG_FLAGS = --

OPTIONS

   --config-file=FILENAME, --config-file FILENAME
       Pass --config-file=FILENAME to the bus daemon, instead of passing
       it the --session argument. See dbus-daemon(1).

   --dbus-daemon=BINARY, --dbus-daemon BINARY
       Run BINARY as dbus-daemon(1), instead of searching the PATH in the
       usual way for an executable called dbus-daemon.

   --help
       Print usage information and exit.

   --version
       Print the version of dbus-run-session and exit.

EXIT STATUS

   dbus-run-session exits with the exit status of PROGRAM, 0 if the --help
   or --version options were used, 127 on an error within dbus-run-session
   itself, or 128+n if the PROGRAM was killed by signal n.

ENVIRONMENT

   PATH is searched to find PROGRAM, and (if the --dbus-daemon option is
   not used or its argument does not contain a / character) to find
   dbus-daemon.

   The session bus' address is made available to PROGRAM in the
   environment variable DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.

   The variables DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_WINDOWID,
   DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE and DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS are removed from the
   environment, if present.

BUGS

   Please send bug reports to the D-Bus mailing list or bug tracker, see
