If you check out the man page for twinkle ( man twinkle
), online version http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/twinkle.1.html you will see that there is both an option to specify the called party from the command line, and also a CLI interface
When you run twinkle, you can add -call
to dial a number.
By contrast -c
starts a CLI interface (presumably with options for dialling numbers, answering etc, but I don't have it on this machine).
Another useful switch is -cmd
which lets you add a series of CLI commands to run. These can be used for instance to answer an incoming call.
