SYNOPSIS
-
dbus-run-session [--config-fileĀ FILENAME] [--dbus-daemonĀ BINARY] [--] PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]
- dbus-run-session --help
- dbus-run-session --version
- dbus-run-session --help
DESCRIPTION
dbus-run-session
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)):

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.
