# mission-control(8)

Telepathy account management daemon

## NAME

mission-control - Telepathy account management daemon

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

**mission-control** (also known as NMC, for Nokia Mission Control) is a Telepathy component providing a way for "end-user" applications to abstract some of the details of connection managers, to provide a simple way to manipulate a bunch of connection managers at once, and to remove the need to have in each program the account definitions and credentials. It is used by Telepathy user interfaces such as [**empathy**(1)](/empathy/1.md) and the chat UI on Nokia's Maemo-based internet tablets.

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.
