Is there a way for one account to fetch information from another account's DCOP service? If I open a Konsole session that logs into another account's shell, can that shell fetch the SessionName from the DCOP of the Konsole account?

Is TDE running in the target account?

Yes.

What is the dcop service you are looking for?

I want to fetch the SessionName for the session that's running a Root Shell session. (The session names are not necessarily "Root Shell", "Root Shell No. 2", etc., because I rename them. I want the root shell's .bashrc to be able to tell what session it's running in, but it needs to talk to the dcop server of the account that owns the Konsole instance.

I tried now connecting to the PC where TDE is running and the first thing I notice is that the environment is missing, so dcop command is not in the path.
