It's enabled by setting the following sync properties, then starting the syncevo-dbus-server, or setting them via D-Bus directly. Directly editing config files while the D-Bus server is running is a loophole - the server will not detect that (could be added, of course). # Controls automatic synchronization. Currently, # automatic synchronization is done by running # a synchronization at regular intervals. This # may drain the battery, in particular when # using Bluetooth! # Because a peer might be reachable via different # transports at some point, this option provides # detailed control over which transports may # be used for automatic synchronization: # 0 - don't do auto sync # 1 - do automatic sync, using whatever transport # is available # http - only via HTTP transport # obex-bt - only via Bluetooth transport # http,obex-bt - pick one of these # autoSync = 0 # This is the minimum number of seconds between two # synchronizations that has to pass before starting # an automatic synchronization.

Some SyncML server operators only allow a # certain number of sessions per day. # The value 0 has the effect of only running automatic # synchronization when changes are detected (not # implemented yet, therefore it basically disables # automatic synchronization). # autoSyncInterval = 30M # An automatic sync will not be started unless the peer # has been available for this duration, specified in seconds # or 1h30m5s format. # # This prevents running a sync when network connectivity # is unreliable or was recently established for some # other purpose.

Once the command line accesses the D-Bus server automatically, even the command line based Genesis would properly integrate into the system, but without taking full advantage of it. So it's good to hear that you might get something working. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
