dbus-send - Any documentation anywhere?
asked 2014-01-23 00:53:01 +0200
CsTom has helped me with a recent posting about sending SMS from the command line by providing the right dbus-send call. I've found the core documentation for dbus at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/IntroductionToDBus/ but it doesn't seem to have have the sort of details that are unique to Jolla. I'm sure that reading through the man pages and then having a good old poke around might reveal something but that could take some time. Is there any documentation on Jolla dbus-send parameters anywhere?
AFAIK there is no official documentation, but you can find a lot of information by running

Last you can list all available interfaces like: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/46301/a-list-of-available-dbus-services. I did already some investigation on dbus so if you have any special question, feel free to ask ;)you can always use
