Linphonecsh - control a linphonec daemon
Linphonecsh is a console utility to send non-blocking commands to an instance of linphonec runnning in the background.
Here is an example to run within your favourite shell and terminal:
#spawn a linphonec daemon:
$ linphonecsh init
#register to a proxy
$ linphonecsh register --host myproxy.net --username bill --password thisisasecret
#dial out
$ linphonecsh dial "sip:alice@myproxy.net"
#terminate the call
$ linphonecsh hangup
#linphonecsh can transmit any command understood by linphonec using the 'generic' keyword
$ linphonecsh generic "proxy list"
#exit the daemon
$ linphonecsh exit
This feature is still being developed, stay connected to svn if you use it !
What could be the applications of this tool ? For example:
- run VoIP calls from scripts
- from web cgi pages
- from javascript in a browser window...
