Command Line Argument - CLI issue

[nixjobin]

Hi,
From command line, The messages are not going. Interactive is working fine.

echo "msg Jobin_J hello" |./telegram -k tg.pub

msg Jobin_J hello
Bad user/chat id
User Jobin J: 3 unread

Yep, this is because you try to send message, before contacts were loaded. You have two options: use "msg user# ..." instead (it will work only if you are this user's contact) or you can use binlog ([-B] key).

Hi Vysheng,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the contact is in my contact. So itred the below and its not working

msg 965XXXXXXXX hello | ./telegram
msg +965XXXXXXXX hello | ./telegram
msg 00965XXXXXXXX hello | ./telegram

All of them giving the same error. "Bad user/chat id"

Thanks,

• Jobin

You can see user_id this way: in tg use command contact_list. There would be lines like this: User #271912: X Y (X_Y 7901...) offline. Was online [2013/11/20 17:26:37]

#271912 in this case is user_id. So you should send msg by command "msg user#271912 text"

Hi Vysheng,,

Yep. That did the Job, Thanks for the explanation.

[vysheng]

Welcome.

For this:

msg Telegram_Notifications hello | ./telegram

It gives me: "command not found".

Like if it can't load the contacts in time...any solution?

[stillru]

msg Telegram_Notifications hello | ./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -e

[stillru]

./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -e msg Telegram_Notifications hello
Read about -e key

[vysheng]

@cryptid11
Probably you want to use '-W' key or enable binlog
Also it may be useful to use '-R'

[vysheng]

Oh, and ./telegram is very old binary. New binary is bin/telegram-cli

[cryptid11]

all 2 ways from @stillru doesn't works for me.

here options:
telegram-cli Usage
-u specify username (would not be asked during authorization)
-k specify location of public key (possible multiple entries)
-v increase verbosity (0-ERROR 1-WARNIN 2-NOTICE 3+-DEBUG-levels)
-N message num mode
-c config file name
-p use specified profile
-l log level
-f during authorization fetch all messages since registration
-E disable auto accept of encrypted chats
-s lua script file
-W send dialog_list query and wait for answer before reading input
-C disable color output
-R disable readline
-d daemon mode
-L log file name
-U change uid after start
-G change gid after start
-D disable output
-P port to listen for input commands
-S unix socket to create
-e make commands end exit
-I use user and chat IDs in updates instead of names

seems that the -e option doesn't works...what's wrong @vysheng ?

When I run:

./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -e msg Telegram_Notifications hello

It tells me:

I: config dir=[/home/cryptid11/.telegram-cli]
All done. Exit
halt

[vysheng]

Try ./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -WR -e msg Telegram_Notifications hello

UPD my bad. ./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -WR -e "msg Telegram_Notifications hello"

[cryptid11]

Still doesn't works but only because @vysheng change the name "Telegram_Notifications" to "Telegram", and then forgot it.

Infact, this command works:

./bin/telegram-cli -k server.pub -WR -e "msg Telegram hello"

Excuse @vysheng I can't resist to kid you a little 👶
