| 3 | == NAME |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | skyped - allows remote control of the Skype GUI client |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | == SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | skyped [<options>] |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | == DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Skype supports remote control of the GUI client only via X11 or DBus |
|---|
| 14 | messages. This is hard in case you want remote control. This daemon |
|---|
| 15 | listens on a TCP port and runs on the same machine where the GUI client |
|---|
| 16 | runs. It passes all the input it gets to Skype directly, except for a |
|---|
| 17 | few commands which is related to authentication. The whole communication |
|---|
| 18 | is done via SSL. |
|---|
| 19 | |
|---|
| 20 | == CONFIGURATION |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | - Set up `~/.skyped/skyped.conf`: Create the `~/.skyped` directory, copy |
|---|
| 23 | `skyped.conf` and `skyped.cnf` from `/usr/local/etc/skyped/` to `~/.skyped`, |
|---|
| 24 | adjust `username` and `password`. The `username` should be your Skype login and |
|---|
| 25 | the `password` can be whatever you want, but you will have to specify that one |
|---|
| 26 | when adding the Skype account to BitlBee (see later). |
|---|
| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | NOTE: Here, and later - `/usr/local/etc` can be different on your installation |
|---|
| 29 | if you used the `--sysconfdir` switch when running the `configure` of BitlBee. |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | - Generate the SSL pem files: |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | ---- |
|---|
| 34 | $ cd ~/.skyped |
|---|
| 35 | $ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config skyped.cnf -out skyped.cert.pem \ |
|---|
| 36 | -keyout skyped.key.pem |
|---|
| 37 | ---- |
|---|
| 38 | |
|---|
| 39 | - Start `skyped` (the TCP server), initially without detaching and enabling debug messages: |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | ---- |
|---|
| 42 | $ skyped -d -n |
|---|
| 43 | ---- |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | - Start your `IRC` client, connect to BitlBee and add your account: |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | ---- |
|---|
| 48 | account add skype <user> <pass> |
|---|
| 49 | ---- |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | `<user>` should be your Skype account name, `<pass>` should be the one you declared |
|---|
| 52 | in `skyped.conf`. |
|---|
