-textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for [libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java). It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. To be able to receiving messages textsecure-cli uses a [patched libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/AsamK/libtextsecure-java), because libtextsecure-java [does not yet support registering for the websocket support](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java/pull/5). For registering you need a phone number where you can receive SMS or incoming calls.

It is primarily intended to be used on servers to notify admins of important events. For this use-case, it has a dbus interface, that can be used to send messages from any programming language that has dbus bindings.
## Usage
-usage: textsecure-cli [-h] [-u USERNAME] [-v] {register,verify,send,quitGroup,updateGroup,receive} ...
+usage: signal-cli [-h] [-u USERNAME] [-v] {register,verify,send,quitGroup,updateGroup,receive} ...
* Register a number (with SMS verification)
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME register
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME register
* Register a number (with voice verification)
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME register -v
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME register -v
* Verify the number using the code received via SMS or voice
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME verify CODE
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME verify CODE
* Send a message to one or more recipients
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME send -m "This is a message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]] [-a [ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]]]
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME send -m "This is a message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]] [-a [ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]]]
* Pipe the message content from another process.
- uname -a | textsecure-cli -u USERNAME send [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]]
+ uname -a | signal-cli -u USERNAME send [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]]
* Groups
* Create a group
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME updateGroup -n "Group name" -m [MEMBER [MEMBER ...]]
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME updateGroup -n "Group name" -m [MEMBER [MEMBER ...]]
* Update a group
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME updateGroup -g GROUP_ID -n "New group name"
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME updateGroup -g GROUP_ID -n "New group name"
* Send a message to a group
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME send -m "This is a message" -g GROUP_ID
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME send -m "This is a message" -g GROUP_ID
## DBus service
-textsecure-cli can run in daemon mode and provides an experimental dbus interface.
+signal-cli can run in daemon mode and provides an experimental dbus interface.
For dbus support you need jni/unix-java.so installed on your system (Debian: libunixsocket-java ArchLinux: libmatthew-unix-java (AUR)).
* Run in daemon mode (dbus session bus)
- textsecure-cli -u USERNAME daemon
+ signal-cli -u USERNAME daemon
* Send a message via dbus
- textsecure-cli --dbus send -m "Message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]] [-a [ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]]]
+ signal-cli --dbus send -m "Message" [RECIPIENT [RECIPIENT ...]] [-a [ATTACHMENT [ATTACHMENT ...]]]
### System bus
To run on the system bus you need to take some additional steps.
-It’s advisable to run textsecure-cli as a separate unix user, the following steps assume you created a user named *textsecure-cli*.
+It’s advisable to run signal-cli as a separate unix user, the following steps assume you created a user named *signal-cli*.
These steps, executed as root, should work on all distributions using systemd.
```bash
-cp data/org.asamk.TextSecure.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
-cp data/org.asamk.TextSecure.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
-cp data/textsecure.service /etc/systemd/system/
-sed -i -e "s|%dir%|<INSERT_INSTALL_PATH>|" -e "s|%number%|<INSERT_YOUR_NUMBER>|" /etc/systemd/system/textsecure.service
+cp data/org.asamk.Signal.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
+cp data/org.asamk.Signal.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
+cp data/signal.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sed -i -e "s|%dir%|<INSERT_INSTALL_PATH>|" -e "s|%number%|<INSERT_YOUR_NUMBER>|" /etc/systemd/system/signal.service
systemctl daemon-reload
-systemctl enable textsecure.service
+systemctl enable signal.service
systemctl reload dbus.service
```
The password and cryptographic keys are created when registering and stored in the current users home directory:
- $HOME/.config/textsecure/data/
+ $HOME/.config/signal/data/
## Building
1. Checkout the source somewhere on your filesystem with
- git clone https://github.com/AsamK/textsecure-cli.git
+ git clone https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli.git
2. Execute Gradle:
./gradlew build
-3. Create shell wrapper in *build/install/textsecure-cli/bin*:
