 Note that this will work only from a normal Macintosh desktop session.
 
+#### MacOS and SSH
+
+As mentioned, the command lines above work only from a normal Macintosh desktop session, because `launchctl` is not available via SSH.
+
+To work around this problem, there are two cases:
+
+**Case 1: dbus is already running**
+
+You can determine if dbus is already running with the command:
+
+```
+ps auxw|grep dbus|grep $(whoami)|grep session
+```
+
+If it is running, you can rely on the notion that the most recent listener in /private/tmp is assigned to this version of dbus. (This might not be 100% reliable in the future, so proceed at your own risk.) Use the command:
+
+```
+export DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET=$(find /private/tmp  -type s -name unix_domain_listener -print0 | xargs -0 ls -rt|tail -n 1)
+```
+
+**Case 2: dbus is not running**
+
+If you have determined that dbus is not running, you can choose your own address and set DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET to match it. For example, to use $HOME/Library/Caches/dbus/bus (make sure the directory exists and has permissions 0700):
+
+```
+mkdir -p $HOME/Library/Caches/dbus
+chmod 0700 $HOME/Library/Caches/dbus
+DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET=$HOME/Library/Caches/dbus/bus
+/usr/local/Cellar/dbus/1.12.20/bin/dbus-daemon --nofork --session --address=$DBUS_LAUNCHD_SESSION_BUS_SOCKET
+```
+
 #### MacOS and dbus-send
 
 In order for `dbus-send` to work correctly, it needs to either be started from a terminal within a normal Mac desktop session, or it needs to have the environment variable `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` set correctly.
