skcmd.py chat <username> <message> does not work when run the command through bash script.
I had a requirement of Sending some text messages to a Skype contact.That messages would be automated by a machine. I tried logging in as root,started skype as root,logged in,started skcmd server, normally tried to send messages through commandline "skcmd.py chat
Wat error did you get?
skcmd.py uses dbus and X11 to communicate with skype, so it will only work in a desktop environment.

Thanks for responding. Yes I got some error of that contains dbus exception. So is there no chance for running that process at the background? If you could answer It will be very Helpful. Thanks in advance, Saikrishna

Hi: I think you should be able to run skcmd.py as a batch job, if its environ is set up correctly. Can you paste the traceback, and the output of "env" in the environment you are trying to run skcmd.py from? saikrishnarao2 writes: > Thanks for responding. > Yes I got some error of that contains dbus exception. > So is there no chance for running that process at the background?
