-	The --debug flag is essential for looking at what's going on if you plan to write your own scripts. Run "dbus-scripts --debug" in a terminal and then perform whatever actions on the phone, to see all the events you can process using dbus-scripts. To see events on the session bus, make that "dbus-scripts --debug --session" (but you will need to run it through run-standalone.sh).	+	The --debug flag is essential for looking at what's going on if you plan to write your own scripts.

To see events on the session bus, make that "dbus-scripts --debug --session" (but you will need to run it through <code>run-standalone.sh</code>). For example:
