This was the thread from which I picked the command! :)


Thanks Martin. NameHasOwner method works!

However, I could not understand the 'dbus-monitor' o/p when using dbus-send:

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination)
serial=47 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.22"
   string ""
   string ":1.22"
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=(null destination)
serial=48 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus;
member=NameOwnerChanged
   string ":1.22"
   string ":1.22"
   string ""

* Why are there TWO messages corresponding  to my single dbus-send
cmd...is it some sort of req-reply pair?

* Why  is the 'dest' field null when I'm setting it to org.freedesktop.DBus?

Thanks,
