# A little shell script for communicating with gaim using dbus

METHOD_NAME=$1

if test -z "$METHOD_NAME" 
then
    cat <<EOF 
This program uses dbus to talk to gaim.  If the gaim is not running and
the dbus engine is set up correctly, a new instance of gaim will be started.

   Syntax: gaim-send method-name parameter1 parameter2 ..."

This shell script just invokes dbus-send, see man dbus-send for how 
to specify the parameters.  

Examples:

   gaim-send Ping 
   gaim-send Quit
   gaim-send GetBuddyList
   gaim-send GetBuddyProperty int32:5 string:alias
   gaim-send StartIMConversation int32:5

See src/dbus-services.xml for the list of supported operations.
