[systemd-devel] Systemd --user and the role of DBUS API

[Ian Geiser]

Greetings, I am struggling with search queries here so I need to ask this outright.  "what is the role of dbus going forward?"  Is dbus the preferred way going forward?  Or should things really be using sd-bus.h instead?

I manage an embedded product that leverages system heavily at the system level, but I want to expand this into the user session. The main focus is to use "scopes" for classification and control of specific application's process groups.  The rub here is that while system-run can do this if I try to do this via dbus the org.freedesktop.systemd1 is missing from the user session no matter what or where I set my DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS.  I am using systemd  224.

Thanks!
