hal commands not working on red hat linux

[Ceylan, Hasan]

Below commands are not working on my Red Hat linux box. They are
returning this error: libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus:
Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such
file or director

Has anybody experienced this? Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
