systemd A monkey with a typewriter Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek zbyszek@in.waw.pl busctl 1 busctl Introspect the bus busctl OPTIONS COMMAND NAME busctl may be used to introspect and monitor the D-Bus bus. The following options are understood: -H --host Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or username and hostname separated by @, to connect to. This will use SSH to talk to the remote systemd instance. -M --machine= Execute the operation on a local container. Specify a container name to connect to. --address=ADDRESS Connect to the bus specified by ADDRESS instead of using suitable defaults for either the system or user bus (see --system and --user options). --show-machine When showing the list of endpoints, show a column containing the names of containers they belong to. See systemd-machined.service8. --unique When showing the list of endpoints, show only "unique" names (of the form :number.number). --acquired The opposite of --unique — only "well-known" names will be shown. --activatable When showing the list of endpoints, show only endpoints which have actually not been activated yet, but may be started automatically if accessed. --match=MATCH When showing messages being exchanged, show only the subset matching MATCH. --no-legend Do not print the legend, i.e. the column headers and the footer. The following commands are understood: list Show endpoints attached to the bus. This is the default if no command is specified. monitor NAME Dump messages being exchanged. If NAME is specified, show messages to or from this endpoint. Otherwise, show all messages on the bus. status NAME Show process information and credentials of a bus endpoint. help Show command syntax help. dbus-daemon1, D-Bus, kdbus, sd-bus3, systemd1, systemd-bus-proxyd8, machinectl1
