inpcontrol(1)

NAME
     inpcontrol - InPerson control tool

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/InPerson/inpcontrol "commandstring"

DESCRIPTION
     inpcontrol is used as a command line interface to InPerson.  It passes
     commands specified in the commandstring to InPerson.  This is useful for
     applications that want to initiate InPerson calls, or for users who wish
     to create InPerson shortcuts.

USAGE
   Placing and Receiving Calls
     inpcontrol sends commandstring to InPerson.

     InPerson accepts a number of commands in the following formats:

               call [ -f whiteboardfile ] user1@host1, user2@host2, ...
               author [ -f whiteboardfile ]
               answer
               hangup


   Examples
     /usr/lib/InPerson/inpcontrol "call -f foo.wb eho@xxx"
          This will call user eho at machine xxx and use the InPerson
          whiteboard file foo.wb in the conference.

     /usr/lib/InPerson/inpcontrol "answer"
          This will cause the user to answer the current incoming call if one
          exists. Otherwise it will bring up the InPerson "Let's Make A Call"
          window.

NOTES
     You must have InPerson running in order for inpcontrol to work
     successfully.

     Your DISPLAY variable must be set to the X display of the inperson
     instance that you wish to control.

FILES
     /usr/lib/InPerson/inpcontrol
     /usr/sbin/inperson

BUGS
     Please see the InPerson release notes for known bugs and workarounds.

     Currently inpcontrol does not return valid values indicating the success
     or failure of any commands it sends.  InPerson will display the error
     dialogs for any connection errors encountered.
