call dcop from different user

Hi

I'm trying to call dcop of user "cweiske" from the apache2 which runs under username "apache". Now a simple "dcop --user cweiske ..." doesn't work as the apache user may not access cweiske's dcop server.
As I didn't find a real howTo or explanation how to set up such a inter-user-dcop; can you help me?

It has to do something with the /home/cweiske/.ICEauthority, but there is no man page for it..

Thanks!

Maybe you can copy the users .ICEauthority file to the home directory of teh apache user (creating one if necessary)

Also check that you have set the DISPLAY variable correctly.

Edit: maybe this offers another solution: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/kdeqt/kde3arch/xmlrpc.html

I'll try this one, thanks.

What does the DISPLAY has to do with it? I thought that's just for X applications with GUI and not for command lines.

Problem is that this nice tool is not in the distribution package and unmaintained since kde 3.2, so it's not really an option...

To identify the targeted DCOP server properly. As a user can potentially have more than one KDE session running, a DCOP server is bound to a session, which is identified by the DISPLAY it displays to.
