.SH "NAME"
skyped \- allows remote control of the Skype GUI client
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
skyped [<options>]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
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\&.

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)\&.

.nf
$ cd ~/\&.skyped

.RE
.sp
.if n \{\

Start your
IRC
client, connect to BitlBee and add your account:
.RE
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf

.if n \{\
.RE

.sp
<user> should be your Skype account name, <pass> should be the one you declared in skyped\&.conf\&.
