Fink starts it up with /sw/etc/profile.d/dbus.sh; the question is, why
does it run away?

On my system, it just starts up cleanly and backgrounds like it should.

Could you do me a favor and try running sample on it so I can figure out
what it's doing wrong?

Start a terminal, kill dbus-launch, then start a second terminal.
In the first terminal, run "sample dbus-launch"; then, send me the file
it creates in /tmp when it's done.

Benjamin-

I looked in "Inactive Processes" for dbus and found 5 (or 6) instances of dbus-launch, and dbus-daemon. I stopped all the dbus-launch processes.

I shut down my machine and restarted. I opened the terminal; it opened and gave me access. I opened a second terminal window and dbus-launch apparently did not let go.

I quit the terminal app, then restarted it.

***Note- Terminal reports: "ps: Invalid (zero-length) process id"

I'm sorry for not reporting that in my previous post.


dbus-launch prevented access, so I killed it. I opened a second window and ran sample dbus-launch in the first window. The following message appeared:
======
sample: You have access to multiple processes named dbus-launch. Please specify a process ID:
          248  306
======

There was a /tmp/fink-dbus-session-501 but it was empty (assuming the multiple process IDs prevented its creation).

I did sample 248 and sample 306. The output of those two files (from / tmp) is attached.

Thanks-
