Earlier this year I wrote a number of posts about monitoring and interacting with D-Bus using shell scripts. In this post I look at using Ruby to monitor and interact with D-Bus enabled applications. Monitoring D-Bus messages is important for both activation and debugging purposes. In this post I examine how to monitor and act on such messages using command line tools. Tomboy is an open source GNOME desktop note-taking application which is written in C# and utilizing the Mono runtime, Gtk# and the GtkSpell spell-checker. The actual release of Tomboy which comes with Fedora 10 is version 0.12.0. This includes a comprehensive D-Bus interface which makes it possible to create, modify and display Tomcat notes from your shell scripts. This post provides an overview of the available D-Bus methods and includes a number of examples for you to experiment with. See my previous post on D-Bus scripting if you are unfamilar with the basic concepts of D-Bus scripting. First we will D-Bus (Desktop Bus) is a low-latency, low-overhead, easy-to-use message bus technology which supports application launch and linking. It is primarly used on GNU/Linux desktops but has been ported to other platforms including Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X.  This post provides a quick overview of D-Bus concepts, some history, and some examples of how to use D-Bus in your shell scripts. Originally both the KDE and GNOME desktop projects used CORBA for inter-application communication. Over time however, for various reasons, KDE migrated from CORBA to Desktop Comunications Protocol (DCOP) and GNOME migrated to Bonono. This lead to the situation |
