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.

I did permission to this file (chmod +x)
I wrote in terminal: python /opt/Scripts/skape-online
and i got this message:
Code:
  File "/opt/Scripts/Skypeon.py", line 16
    accounts = am_props.Get(TP_ACCT_MGR,
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent
~ $
What I do is wrong ?
Thanks

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?

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"...
