NAME

upstart-dbus-bridge - Bridge between Upstart and D-Bus

SYNOPSIS

upstart-dbus-bridge [OPTIONS]...

DESCRIPTION

upstart-dbus-bridge receives information about D-Bus signals and creates init(8) events for them.

With no options, monitors signals on the D-Bus system bus and emits an Upstart event called dbus via a D-Bus system bus connection to Upstart.

When run with --user, monitors signals on the users D-Bus session bus and emits Upstart events via the private D-Bus connection to the users Session Init.

See dbus-daemon(1) and for further details.

OPTIONS

--always

Always emit events on receipt of D-Bus signal regardless of whether jobs care about them.

--daemon

Detach and run in the background.

--debug

Enable debugging output.

--help

Show brief usage summary.

--session

Monitor signals on the D-Bus session bus.

--system

Monitor signals on the D-Bus system bus.

--user

User-session mode: connect to Upstart via the user session rather than over the D-Bus system bus.

--bus-name

Set a name for the bus to be passed as an additional argument to the event under the property BUS. Used to distinguish multiple D-Bus bridges.

--verbose

Enable verbose output.

RESTRICTIONS

D-Bus signals emitted by Upstart itself are ignored.
