== NAME
skyped - allows remote control of the Skype GUI client
== SYNOPSIS
skyped [<options>]
== DESCRIPTION
Skype supports remote control of the GUI client only via X11 or DBus
messages. This is hard in case you want remote control. This daemon
listens on a TCP port and runs on the same machine where the GUI client
runs. It passes all the input it gets to Skype directly, except for a
few commands which is related to authentication. The whole communication
is done via SSL.
== CONFIGURATION
- Set up `~/.skyped/skyped.conf`: Create the `~/.skyped` directory, copy
`skyped.conf` and `skyped.cnf` from `/usr/local/etc/skyped/` to `~/.skyped`,
adjust `username` and `password`. The `username` should be your Skype login and
the `password` can be whatever you want, but you will have to specify that one
when adding the Skype account to BitlBee (see later).
NOTE: Here, and later - `/usr/local/etc` can be different on your installation
if you used the `--sysconfdir` switch when running the `configure` of BitlBee.
- Generate the SSL pem files:
----
$ cd ~/.skyped
$ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config skyped.cnf -out skyped.cert.pem \
-keyout skyped.key.pem
----
- Start `skyped` (the TCP server), initially without detaching and enabling debug messages:
----
$ skyped -d -n
----
- Start your `IRC` client, connect to BitlBee and add your account:
----
account add skype <user> <pass>
----
`<user>` should be your Skype account name, `<pass>` should be the one you declared
in `skyped.conf`.
