The only D-Bus tool that is nice in the command line is qdbus, and that stems from Qt. I wonder why the original D-Bus writers could not write a decent enough command line tool for it.

Try mdbus2 - https://github.com/freesmartphone/mdbus - it's also in Debian/Ubuntu repos.

It's a little tool that works really well with dbus services that properly implement introspection. We used it extensively on Openmoko phones to play with our middleware (or when GUI was broken ;) )

Has commandline completion and history! This is nice. Thanks, will give this a try. :-)
Thanks. It's quite qood. Handy.
