SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
As per post title really, does anyone know the shell commands to go online/offline with Skype etc so I can cron it?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I have managed to solve this with a bit of digging on the forums and adapting of scripts. The first script I created called "skype-online" is here:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus
import gobject

#NAMES
TP_ACCT_MGR = 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager'
TP_ACCT = 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Account'
DBUS_PROPS = 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties'

sessbus = dbus.SessionBus()
am_obj = sessbus.get_object(TP_ACCT_MGR,
                            '/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/AccountManager')
am_props = dbus.Interface(am_obj, DBUS_PROPS)

    accounts = am_props.Get(TP_ACCT_MGR,
                            "ValidAccounts")
    for path in accounts:
        if ("/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/ring" == path):
            continue
        acct_obj = sessbus.get_object(TP_ACCT_MGR, path)
        acct_props = dbus.Interface(acct_obj, DBUS_PROPS)

        acct_props.Set(TP_ACCT,
                          "RequestedPresence",
                          dbus.Struct((dbus.UInt32(2),
                                        dbus.String(u"available"),
                                        dbus.String(u"") )) )
        acct_props.Set(TP_ACCT,
                          "ConnectAutomatically",
                          dbus.Boolean(True))
and skype-offline:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import dbus
import gobject

#NAMES
TP_ACCT_MGR = 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager'
TP_ACCT = 'org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Account'
DBUS_PROPS = 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties'

sessbus = dbus.SessionBus()
am_obj = sessbus.get_object(TP_ACCT_MGR,
                            '/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/AccountManager')
am_props = dbus.Interface(am_obj, DBUS_PROPS)

    accounts = am_props.Get(TP_ACCT_MGR,
                            "ValidAccounts")
    for path in accounts:
        if ("/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/ring" == path):
            continue
        acct_obj = sessbus.get_object(TP_ACCT_MGR, path)
        acct_props = dbus.Interface(acct_obj, DBUS_PROPS)

            acct_props.Set(TP_ACCT,
                          "RequestedPresence",
                          dbus.Struct((dbus.UInt32(1),
                                        dbus.String(u"offline"),
                                        dbus.String(u"") )) )
            acct_props.Set(TP_ACCT,
                          "ConnectAutomatically",
                          dbus.Boolean(False))
Then chmod +x both scripts. Then you can use alarmed or whatever to run these scripts to sign in and out.

Awesome!! Thanks so much. I did have to fix a few minor indentation errors. No big deal.

Thanks a lot, great posting!
But beware, this will bring offline/online all IM accounts, not only Skype.

Unexpected indent. This line of code has more spaces at the start than the one before, but the one before is not the start of a subblock (e.g. if/while/for statement). All lines of code in a block must start with exactly the same string of whitespace

But I'd still like to know how to set the presence, or status of the IM accounts. Any ideas?

Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
If you install "libmissioncontrol-utils" you can set resence with:
Code:
mc-tool list | grep -v "ring/tel" | awk {'print "mc-tool request "$1" busy"'} | sh
Just replace "busy" with "offline" or "online".
If you don't want to set all accounts at once you can replace -v "ring/tel" (exclude -v) with "skype" or "ovi" or "gmail" etc. depending on the account settings.

I installed this and your code working perfectly! Thanks..
But before I run this code, I need set my presence to "ofline", if I set "Online" all my accounts connecting automaticaly, when I connect to internet... The code not switching to one account, that I wrote in the code..
It's still a good, I only need to remember to switch "offline" before I run "desktop activity"...

Hi all

I want to be able to setup Alarmed so that it sets my presents to online but I'm not fimiliar with creating scritps. Would someone be kind enough to guide me through it step by step as I really have no idea what I'm doing?

Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
try install this: libmissioncontrol-utils
write this command in to your app (alarmed):
mc-tool list | grep -v "ring/tel" | awk {'print "mc-tool request "$1" online"'} | sh

hope it will help..

Has anyone noticed the problem with this?

It doesn't stay online/connected if you change internet connections i.e going from 3G internet to WIFI and vise/versa. Bit of a let down.

tmarinos 2011-06-13 11:53
Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
Hmmm, surely someone has noticed...?

Schturman 2011-06-13 14:18
Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
when you chenge the internet connection, you need again to run this script...

tmarinos 2011-06-13 21:44
Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
Yes, I know. That's a bit of an inconvenience, don't you think?

Schturman 2011-06-13 22:50
Re: SOLVED: Sign in/out Skype (set availability Online/Offline) with cron
 
Not for me... For staying always (3G/Wifi) online, just will put the "availability" to the "online" from status bar...
