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.

options

There are no additional command-line options.

exit status

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.

bugs

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