Re: [Freeswitch-users] Skype interaction commands on skypiax
Ciao Giovanni, I suggest to update the startskype.sh script by adding a "su username" statement, in this way: instead of starting skype as echo "myskypeuser xxx" | DISPLAY=:101 /usr/bin/skype --pipelogin & is better to do: su unixusername -c "echo 'myskypeuser xxx' | DISPLAY=:101 /usr/bin/skype --pipelogin &" for two reason: you can easily put config into a non-root user AND the startskype.sh will work also if called from init. in fact, a plain echo "myskypeuser xxx" | DISPLAY=:101 /usr/bin/skype --pipelogin & will not work when called from init script, you have to do (even with root) su root -c "echo 'myskypeuser xxx' | DISPLAY=:101 /usr/bin/skype --pipelogin &" in any other way skype will not get the user home directory... This is my 2c experience on centos 5.2. regards, matteo. ___ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
[Freeswitch-users] Skype interaction commands on skypiax
Hi all, background: mod_skypiax is Skype compatible endpoint that allows incoming and outbound calls to/from the Skype network and SkypeOut service. It's seen by FS like other endpoints, so you can originate from sofia, bridge to skypiax, and connect the call to a landline number via SkypeOut service, for eg. skypiax endpoint use a Skype client to interact with the Skype network (see the wiki page for more details http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Skypiax). The news are: now you can send commands to the skype client related to a skyiax interface, both from the FS command line and programmatically (socket/API/esl/whatever) http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Skypiax#API_and_CLI_Commands This allow you to use directly the entire power of the Skype API ( https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc ), for eg to send chat messages, interact with the buddy list, etc etc. Typing "console loglevel 9" at the FS command line allows you to see the Skype API answers from the Skype client instance. So, in short: you bring loglevel to 9 (so you can see the Skype API messages going back and forth), you use "sk" or "skypiax" to send Skype API commands to the Skype client instance. This way you can prototype extensions to the current mod_skypiax, that can then be implemented in C directly into the mod_skypiax source code. Please, let me know of extensions you would like to be integrated into the mod_skypiax code ;-).
