Linphonecsh is a small utility to send basic commands to a linphonec (console mode linphone) process. Unlike linphonec, linphonecsh does not wait commands from standard input: it takes the command from its arguments and sends it using unix pipe to a linphonec process started in daemon mode. The motivation for this tool is for example to simply execute voip calls from scripts, web-servers, or javascript web pages.

The very first thing to do before doing actions is to ask linphonecsh to spawn a linphonec daemon using


The resulting linphonec daemon does not read or write any configuration file.

When the linphonec daemon is no more needed, the following commands makes it exit properly:

By default a linphonec started as a daemon by 'linphonecsh init' does not use a config file.
