D-Bus FOR LINUX

Description:

D-Bus is an open source and free command-line software implemented in C, a non-interactive daemon that acts as a message bus system. It is heavily used in modern Linux distributions to allow applications to talk to one another. This message bus system has been engineered in such a way that helps you coordinate process lifecycle, by making it reliable and simple to write a daemon or a "single instance" application. The project is comprised of a system daemon that takes care of events like "printer queue changed" or "new hardware device added," and a per-user-login-session daemon, which is mostly used for general IPC tasks.
