Re: [Linphone-users] (Linux mint 18.3/flatpak) Linphone-desktop 4.1.1 - Calling a number/sip address from web page or command line

[Maciej Morycinski]

Sorry for mangled script. Let me try again.

    #!/bin/bash
    
    # This script will use linphone to call any sip, tel or
      callto uri,
    # as long as web browser and/or address book is set up
      to use it.
    # Linphone by itself will not work, as it expect a call
      parameter
    # as detailed below:
    
    # linphone must run, then
    #    linphone "call
      sip-address=sip:4443@vancouver1.voip.ms"
    # will call Voip.ms echo test
    #    linphone "call sip-address=604-555-1212"
    # will call a (nonexistent) number in Vancouver area
      code
    
    #
      ================================================================
    # Check that there is only one parameter
    if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
        echo "    " $# " parameters, must be one only"
    else
        # Input parameter must start with one of: sip:,
      tel:, or callto:
        p=$(expr $1 : "^\(sip:\|tel:\|callto:\)")    
        if [ $p ]; then
            # Protocol with telephone number or sip address
            pt=$1
            # Calculate the length of the protocol part
             lp=$(expr length $p)
            # Calculate the length of the telephone number
      including protocol
             lpt=$(expr length $pt)
            # Calculate length of sip address less protocol
      part
             lsa=$(expr $lpt - $lp)
             if [ $lsa -gt "0" ]; then
                 # Calculate the position of first
      character of address less protocol
                 fc=$(expr $lp + 1)
                 sa=$(expr substr $pt $fc $lsa)
                echo "Calling" "$sa"
                notify-send "Calling" "$sa"
      --icon=dialog-information
                linphone "call sip-address=$sa"
            else
                echo "Phone number/sip address not
      provided"
             fi
        else
            echo "Usage: linphone-tel.sh
      protocol:destination"
            echo "       where protocol is one of: sip,
      tel, or callto"
            echo "       and destination is either a phone
      number, or a sip address"
        fi
