TellVoxCommando

[mdsh]

Hi all, really random question and not 100% sure how to ask but here goes.

Is there a way in the TellVC.exe that you can tell it an IP address to talk to?

A previous member asked about passing commands remotely. I was setting up a SSH server over the weekend with tunnels and thought.... if I can tunnel TellVC.exe commands to my home PC from a remote location.


Hope I made any form of sense.

Thanks all once again

I don't know much about tunnels or SSH, but no, you can't specify a destination IP address with TellVoxCommando.exe at the moment.  I could add this option though.

Even if you could I'm not sure how that would work with UDP and a tunnel.

You can however set up VC to listen for TCP or HTTP commands, so for sure there is a way to talk to VC from a remote location by forwarding the appropriate ports.  But currently you would still not be able to use TellVoxCommando.exe to do it.  You could however, send commands from VC running on one machine to VC running at a remote location, or even by using your browser.

Thanks for this James

I will do some reading on sending commands the way you suggested. Dont bother with putting this in as a feature if there is really no demand for it. Im sure you have many other things you could rather spend your time on! Was just one of my random moments where I was busy doing some SSH tunneling stuff for a client and then remembered that another user asked about remotely controlling things and I mentioned a VPN but SSH is a easier\cheaper way to go about it perhaps.

Thanks again

Hi James thanks for planting the seeds of passing commands via HTTP and TCP  now I have so many more ideas that I want to test  just want to know if this forum articale  http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1053.0 is the one to read for all of the functions

One other question. On the VoxWav (free) is there a setting in the app that I could have the app always listening? I am think of me walking in at home no where close to my PC and MIC but my phone is in my pocket. Then I can just say COMPUTER..... COMMAND.... IGNORE ME without having to unlock and then press to speak. Thanks James! =You deserve a holiday with all the work you have put into the software and the forum. Much appreciated

I don't know what you mean by "all of the functions"...

All of the actions for any core action or any plugin action are described in the VC editor or available in the wiki. http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Plugin_List#TCP

No.  Not with VoxWav free.  The beta version of VoxWav pro has this feature.  I don't know if anyone is using it though, so I don't really know how reliable it is in real life.

Thank you James. I will try the Pro at some point. Also thanks for the links. will have a read through them

Is there any parameters that can be added with tell box.exe?  Like tellvox.exe download x started.

[nime5ter]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but here is the documentation for tellvox in the wiki : http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Menu#Run_TellVoxCommando.exe

If that doesn't help, please explain what you're trying to do exactly.

Okei, as it is now, you write what you want as a parameter inside the program. I wanted to know if you it was possible to pass that parameter as a argument on exceution. Many programs have the ability to run program x when y event happen. Fx Run when finished: path/to/tellvox.exe parameter

One example is this:
sendsms.py "Awesomeshow name was just downloaded at time:time:date"

[jitterjames]

you can use udpsender.exe or voxcommando with a command line parameter.

I should have known that you already have thought of it...

Thanks for putting me in the right direction!
