Ok.

The reason why I asked for the DBus to do so was also driven by a
mistake in my understanding of the action to be performed. Your answers
and further investigation made the point clearer for me.

The JAVA language does not completely lack the ability to manage it, as
it allows a native call to perform the task. I think the reason it does
not offer high level methods to perform this kind of task is its aim to
platform independance. But anyway, I did write a small C function and
call it using JNI, and it is working smoothly.

Thanks for your support,
Best Regards.
