start a call via command line?
 

As I can log into my phone over ssh, is there a way to 'start' a call over CLI?

e.g. ./phone --number <blah>

i.e. leave my phone somewhere, log in via ssh, start a call to say my home number and listen in to whats said in the vicinity?

nothing nefarious , just 'interested'

yep, via dbus interface...

replace $1 with the phone number to dial

Followup: you probably could stream the mic and save yourself a phonecall, though....

I have never think that I can use this phone to spy for my wife!!!! :D
Or It could be very good Trojan to your co-warker who don't know linux.....

Thanks for Idea!!!!!

heh, I do have legitimate reason for this, I plan to use it as a sort of baby monitor to check whats happening with kids left to play upstairs.. I'm happy to let them have the freedom to play but wanted to just listen in to make sure its all Ok

OK, tested and works but how do I send a hang up? Can I just kill teh relevant process?

i.e. dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call --type=method_call --print-reply \
/com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$1" uint32:0 &
ps -ef|grep dbus

<look at relevant pid>
kill -9 <pid>

/???
