[gaim-migrate @ 15907] Patch from Julien Bossart to change our DNS child liveness test to one using waitpid instead of kill. This is still sort of a heuristic, because we could conceivably have some *other* child with the same PID (say, a sound fork), but that's reasonably unlikely and this check is certainly more reliable than the previous check. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

This program calls gaim API functions using DBus.  As opposed to gaim-send, 
it does not print the return value.

Usage:

   $0 method-name type1:parameter1 type2:parameter2 ...

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   $0 GaimCoreQuit

Use dbus-viewer to get the list of supported functions and their parameters.
