hello I'm using RH5.1 and whatever version of dbus shipped with that. I am trying to set things up so that when a client calls methods on my service, it will auto-launch a mini-server process that implements the service interface. I have put a file 'com.foo.myservice.service' in /usr/share/dbus-1/services That file contains this: Name=com.foo.myservice Exec=mysvc User=root and mysvc is in the PATH, owned by root. I also added a mysvc.conf file to the /etc/dbus-1/system.d which contains: <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd</a>"> <busconfig> <policy user="root"> <allow own="*"/> </policy> </busconfig> but when I call the service from the client I get an error saying that : 0x5555689b8b60 "The name com.foo.myservice was not provided by any .service files" Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? TIA
