It's possible to setup the monitoring before or after launching the other application. The following part of the D-BUS specification describes a couple of useful methods and signals on the message bus, which can be used for tracking the life of a service: http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-bus-types The implementation details depend on whether you will use the low-level libdbus or some higher level bindings, though, so I realize this is still rather abstract description of how to do it :) _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
