signal-cli is launched via a shell script wrapper, which loads the appropriate java binaries from $PWD/lib

For daemon mode:

dbus must be running as a user for the current session. use dbus-launch in login scripts and set the appropriate environment variables returned by the command.

Install dbus session file into /usr/local/share/dbus-1/services/ from data/org.asamk.Signal.service
