Scripting Konsole
For KDE 4, the old DCOP has been replaced with D-Bus. Konsole does support numerous methods that can be used with D-Bus.
There are two ways to use the D-Bus interface: Qt™'s GUI qdbusviewer and the command line qdbus.
Examples:
%
qdbus
will display all services available.
%
qdbus
org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole`
will display the D-Bus interface for Konsole.
%
qdbus
org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Konsole
will display methods for controlling the main Konsole window.
%
qdbus
org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole` /Session/1
will display methods for session 1.
In the above examples, `pidof -s konsole`
will work if you have only one Konsole window running. If you have
more than one Konsole running, you'll have to replace the above text
with that pid of the Konsole you want to control.
