Tool for viewing available DBUS messages I can send to an application

  • 772

Is there a graphical tool or maybe a command-line one that lists all the messages and parameters/arguments that I can send to a DBUS-enabled program?? I really want to try scripting some DBUS things but I can hardly find any documentation for the DBUS capabilities of most applications.

gui dbus

  4. For Kubuntu users, KDE ships with qdbusviewer-qt4, which can list all available commands to all dbus clients.

  5. I've been using dbus-monitor, which is really useful. It provides a --profile mode, which provides a quick summary of all the signals bouncing around.
