dbus-daemon: Run the daemon with the standard systemwide message bus configuration.
$ dbus-daemon --system
try on your machine
The dbus-daemon
command is used to start the D-Bus message bus system daemon. The D-Bus is an inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism that allows different applications or processes on a system to communicate with each other.
--system
is an option that tells the dbus-daemon
command to start the D-Bus system bus. The system bus is a bus that runs at the system level and is used for communication between system services, daemons, and applications. It provides a way for system components to coordinate and communicate with each other.
In summary, running the dbus-daemon --system
command starts the D-Bus system bus, allowing system services, daemons, and applications to communicate with each other through the D-Bus IPC mechanism.
