# textsecure-cli
-textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for [libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java). It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. However receiving messages currently doesn't work, 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.
+textsecure-cli is a commandline interface for [libtextsecure-java](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/libtextsecure-java). It supports registering, verifying, sending and receiving messages. However receiving messages currently only works with a patched 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.
## Usage
-usage: textsecure-cli [-h] -u USERNAME {register,verify,send,receive} ...
+usage: textsecure-cli [-h] [-u USERNAME] [-v] {register,verify,send,quitGroup,updateGroup,receive} ...
-* Register a number
+* Register a number (with SMS verification)
textsecure-cli -u USERNAME register
-* Register a number with voice verification
+* Register a number (with voice verification)
textsecure-cli -u USERNAME register -v
-* Verify the number using the code received via SMS
+* Verify the number using the code received via SMS or voice
textsecure-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 ...]]
+ textsecure-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 ...]]
+* Groups
+
+ * Create a group
+
+ textsecure-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"
+
+ * Send a message to a group
+
+ textsecure-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.
+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
+
+* Send a message via dbus
+
+ textsecure-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*.
+These steps, executed as root, should work on all distributions using systemd.
+
+```bash
+cp data/org.asamk.TextSecure.config /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
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable textsecure.service
+systemctl reload dbus.service
+```
+
+Then just execute the send command from above, the service will be autostarted by dbus the first time it is requested.
