LAN Messenger command line

Lori Lesch:



hello, is it possible to send messages to LAN Messenger from command line?



Emelie Rosenbaum:


Could you be more specific please, do you mean can you send another user messages or do you wish to send commands to LAN messenger?

Thanks


Kylie Conn:

Sorry to hijack this somewhat, but perhaps I can clarify.

We would like to automate sending messages from another process.

For example, using an external UI to send pre-fabricated messages via LAN messenger. A receptionist doesn't want to type the same message every day to different people, so she has a button that automatically sends the message.

/usr/bin/lan-messenger "office3" "Your package has arrived"

(Send the message "your package has arrived" to the computer named "office3")
