And which dbus version are u using? For dbus 1-2-3 & higher the service file should be placed in - {prefix}/shared/dbus-1/system-services for lower versions the service file should be placed in - {prefix}/shared/dbus-1/services Also for dbus-1-2-3 & higher versions the service file should also contain one more key User=root Check these and get back if doesn't work Regards Kaustubh (aka silverroots) </blockquote> </div> Kaustubh, you sir win a prize. :) After writing my last reply, I double-checked the location of .service files on my system and sure enough, there was indeed a 'system-services' directory. I saw other .service's in the old directory and figured that was were it had to go. Then, I thought, "wait, I am connecting to the 'system' bus. Duh!". Sure enough, I moved my .service file to the 'system-services' directory and it immediately complained of not having a 'User=' directive. I added one and bingo, it worked! If you are ever in Toronto, Canada, I owe you a coffee. :) Madi </blockquote></div>
