dcopstart Start a KDE service and return its DCOP reference
dcopstart service [...]
dcopstart starts a KDE service (i.e. an application
that is registered in the KDE system of .desktop files) and returns its
reference for later use in shell scripts. If the service is not scriptable
via DCOP, dcopstart returns nothing, but starts the service.
