Re: [Linphone-users] External interaction with linphonec 2.1.1

[address@hidden]

Hi,


I start linphone with the --pipe argument:

voyage:~# linphonec --pipe
ALSA lib conf.c:3952:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
Ready
Warning: video is disabled in linphonec, use -V or -C or -D to enable.
linphonec> Registration on sip:10.1.1.3 successful.


I see that it creates the file socket:

voyage:~# find /tmp/
/tmp/
/tmp/linphonec-0


I confirm that the process number is not 0:

voyage:~# ps fax|grep -i lin|grep -v grep
23045 pts/1    Sl+    0:00  |       \_ linphonec --pipe


and when trying to communicate with linphone I get:

voyage:~# echo "call 203" | /tmp/linphonec-0
-bash: /tmp/linphonec-0: Permission denied
-bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe



thanks for your attention,
Mike
