gsettings - Monitor All System Settings Change
 
Using gsetting, I can monitor a specific schema change.

Code:
$ gsettings list-schemas | grep sound
org.cinnamon.sounds
org.gnome.desktop.sound
org.mate.sound
org.cinnamon.desktop.sound
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.sound
$ gsettings list-keys org.cinnamon.sounds
....
maximize-enabled
login-enabled
switch-enabled
....
$ gsettings get org.cinnamon.sounds login-enabled 
false
$ gsettings monitor org.cinnamon.sounds     
login-enabled: true
login-enabled: false
How, can I use gsettings to monitor all schema changes (the output I get from gsettings list-schemas) in my machine.

man gsettings
Probably the monitor command.

Yes, with the monitor command I can monitor one schema. However, I want to monitor all the schema.

Something like:
Code:
dconf watch /

I've used gsettings for a long time and never once thought of using man pages. I get my info by googling. Thanks!

When I’m not on my LInux box (as now) I put man <command> into the search engine. man pages are the definitive documentation.

Create a script that executes the monitor command for each schema you want to monitor.

gsettings monitor takes one schema.

Code:
$ gsettings monitor org.x.pix.webalbums
It does not take multiple schema.

Code:
$ gsettings monitor org.x.pix.webalbums org.x.pix
No such key “org.x.pix”
How do you suggest I pass gsettings list-schemas output to gsettings monitor in the script?
