I have produced a new utility called Skctl, the Skype Controller. This will probably not be of interest to most of you, but it may interest some.
Skctl is a command-line Skype interface of sorts, with some added features, most notably the ability to set up auto-answers for specific users, rather than turning autoAnswer on for everyone at once in your contact list. Other things you can do with Skctl include making and managing calls, listing active file transfers with KBPS and percent complete, playing voicemails, toggling microphone mute with a single-letter command, and getting a user's last-online time, which the Skype graphical interfaces currently don't provide accessibly. Installation of the program on Windows requires first installing ActivePython, the most widely used Windows Python distribution as far as I can tell. The program should work without extra work on MacOS. Installation instructions, system requirements, and a complete reference on Skctl commands can be found at the following link: http://www.dlee.org/skype/skctl/man.php The main link for Skctl, which also leads to the documentation page just mentioned, is http://www.dlee.org/skype/skctl/ >From there, you can reach the documentation and get the current release, version 1.2.2. Since this is both a new and a powerful interface, I strongly recommend that users first examine the documentation just mentioned before playing with Skctl commands. There is built-in help, accessible by typing "help" or "?" and pressing Enter at Skctl's "Skype>" prompt; but the online documentation is much more complete. Happy playing. -- Doug Lee [email protected] http://www.dlee.org SSB BART Group [email protected] http://www.ssbbartgroup.com "When your best-laid plans have turned to dust, vacuum!" - Whoopi Goldberg Thanks for posting to the skype english list.
