Comments on: dbus session access from remote http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2008/08/05/dbus-session-access-from-remote/ code is freedom -- patching my itch Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:58:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Kirikaza http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2008/08/05/dbus-session-access-from-remote/comment-page-1/#comment-891 Kirikaza Sat, 03 Apr 2010 17:08:20 +0000 http://www.outflux.net/blog/?p=159#comment-891 You can replace <code>cat /proc/\$PID/environ | xargs -0 -n1</code> with <code>xargs -0 -n1 </proc/\$PID/environ</code>. Also you can use the variable name DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS just from the found line (without cutting). And the last tip: you can use a pipe symbol at the end of line like a "\". So, a shorter variant: <code> export \$(xargs -0 -n1 </proc/\$PID/environ | grep ^DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=) </code> You can replace cat /proc/\$PID/environ | xargs -0 -n1 with xargs -0 -n1 </proc/\$PID/environ.

Use "pstree -lup" to see them. Probably the best might be x-session-manager, nautilus, or gnome-panel. If the remote user is logged into X, you have all kinds of things.

Do you know how to pull the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS for an active user, as opposed to a running program? I'd like to start a remote shell on demand that attaches to my remote dbus session (similar to above), but I don't know what programs might be running at that time... Useful tip, thanks!
