Re: [Linphone-users] External interaction with linphonec 2.1.1

[Simon Morlat]

Hi,

Hum... Are you running the echo command as the same user as the
linphonec --pipe ?
I'm not a specialist of using unix pipes from shell. This pipe is a
SOCK_STREAM unix pipe, maybe it has something special that is different
than a simple unix pipe created by mkfifo(3).
