fldigi-shell - program for controlling fldigi fldigi-shell [OPTIONS] [FILE] The fldigi-shell program controls fldigi(1) over HTTP via XML-encoded remote procedure calls (XML-RPC). It can call any XML-RPC method exported by fldigi, and also defines some useful commands of its own. -d Enable debug output. -u URL Use URL to access the server. Defaults to &#8220;http://localhost:7362/RPC2&#8221;, which corresponds to fldigi&#8217;s default listen address and port. -c COMMAND Execute command COMMAND and exit.

Note
The &#8220;x:yz&#8221; notation refers to the return type and argument type(s). They are: &#8220;n&#8221; (nil), &#8220;i&#8221; (integer), and &#8220;s&#8221; (string). debug (n:n:) Toggle debug output. eval (s:s) Evaluate Perl code. exit (n:n) Exit the shell. help (n:n) Print help for server (fldigi) methods and shell commands. history (s:n) Print command history. modems (s:n) List all modem names. poll (s:i) Poll for new received text every i seconds. Defaults to 1. pskrqsy (n:si) QSY to ith best frequency for grid s. The list of frequencies is retrieved from the PSK Reporter website; see RESOURCES. The grid square string may be left empty, and the index argument defaults to 0 (first frequency). recvtext (s:n) Get all received text. reinit (n:n) Fetch commands from the server and rebuild command list. send (n:s) Send text interactively, one line at a time. sendchar (n:s) Send text interactively, one character at a time. sendfile (n:s) Send text read from file s. sendstr (n:s) Send string s. source (n:s) Read commands from file s. time (s:s) Time a command. wait (n:s) Wait for server TRX state to become s. The shell has three modes of operation: 1. Interactive mode with history, tab completion and command line editing. This is the default mode when fldigi-shell is run without arguments. 2. Batch mode for a single command with the -c option. 3. Batch mode to &#8220;source&#8221; a file containing Perl code. Fldigi-shell commands can be called using &#8220;execute("COMMAND [ARG ...]")&#8221; calls. $HOME/.fldigi/shell-history Contains the fldigi-shell command history. while :; do fldigi-shell -c pskrqsy; sleep 900; done Change to the &#8220;best frequency&#8221; (see PSK Reporter) every fifteen minutes. fldigi(1), xmlrpc(1), readline(3), RPC::XML(3pm) • Some additional command wrappers are needed. • Command completion should be enabled for the arguments of some commands. • The XML-RPC handling code should probably go in a separate module. • It should be possible to pass multiple -c CMD arguments.
