The x11/dbus port
dbus-1.16.2v0 – message bus system (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication (IPC), D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.WWW: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/

| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To start a session bus instance of dbus-daemon (needed by applications
installing ${PREFIX}/share/dbus-1/services/*.service files), add the
following lines to your Xsession script before starting the window manager
(see dbus-launch(1) for more info) -- note that some session/login managers,
like gnome-session(1) already handle this automatically.
e.g. console login: ~/.xinitrc
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/bin/dbus-launch -a -z "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" ]; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi
e.g. graphical display manager: ~/.xsession
if [ -x ${PREFIX}/bin/dbus-launch -a -z "${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" ]; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-x11`
fi
