Exec via DBus?

[James Ward]

Thanks Thiago.  That's helpful.  I'm a total newbie to DBus so here is another dumb question...  How do I call ListActivatableNames using dbus-send?

Thanks.

There isn't any.

You can only launch services that have been pre-installed to be launchable. 
Call ListActivatableNames on the bus interface to get a list of which 
services those are.
