DEBUTGRAS[D-BUS Service] FINGRAS Name= org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Something Exec=/usr/bin/mc-wait-for-name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Client.Something

3. DESCRIPTION ▲

mc-wait-for-name runs until a bus name appears, then exits successfully. This can be used as a service-activation helper for a bus name that is not directly activatable, but will be provided automatically (after a while) by the desktop session.

4. EXIT STATUS ▲

  • 0
        The bus name eventually appeared.
  • 64 (EX_USAGE)
        Invocation error (too many or too few arguments, or the bus name given was not a syntactically valid well-known bus name).
  • 69 (EX_UNAVAILABLE)
        mc-wait-for-name was unable to connect to the session bus.
  • 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL)
        The name did not appear within a reasonable time.

5. OPTIONS ▲

There are no additional command-line options.

6. BUGS ▲

The "reasonable time" to wait is currently hard-coded.
