# mission-control-5(8)

Telepathy account manager/chanel dispatcher

## NAME

mission-control-5 - Telepathy account manager/chanel dispatcher

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5**

## DESCRIPTION

Mission Control 5 implements the AccountManager and ChannelDispatcher services described in the Telepathy D-Bus specification, allowing clients like [**empathy**(1)](/empathy/1.md) to store account details, connect to accounts, request communication channels, and have channels dispatched to them.

It is a D-Bus service which runs on the session bus, and should usually be started automatically by D-Bus activation. However, it might be useful to start it manually for debugging.

## OPTIONS

There are no command-line options.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **MC\_DEBUG=all** or **MC\_DEBUG=***category*\[**,***category*...\]

  May be set to "all" for full debug output from Mission Control and telepathy-glib, or various undocumented category names (which may change from release to release) to filter the output. See Mission Control and telepathy-glib source code for the available categories.

- **MC\_DEBUG=***level*

  Set a numeric debug level for Mission Control itself (but not telepathy-glib). Level 0 logs nothing, level 1 logs most messages, and level 2 logs all messages.

- **MC\_TP\_DEBUG**=*type*

  May be set to "all" for full debug output from telepathy-glib, or various undocumented options (which may change from telepathy-glib release to release) to filter the output. See telepathy-glib source code for the available options.
