Sim-im instant messenger controller

Usage

simctrl [options] [uin files]

Overview

simctrl is command line controller for sim(1) which is a simple and powerful multi-protocol instant messenger. simctrl executes commands either interactively or in batch mode. Running simctrl without options switches simctrl to interactive mode when simctrl waits for commands and sends. Running simctrl with -c command switches simctrl to batch mode. In both modes simctrl talks with running instance of sim(1).
