skype from the CLI

[thufir]

Is there some syntax problem with the following?


thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ skype --callto:+14445551234
skype: unrecognized option '--callto:+14445551234'
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ skype --callto:k
skype: unrecognized option '--callto:k'
thufir at dur:~$ 
thufir at dur:~$ skype --help
Skype 4.2.0.11

Usage: skype [options]
Options:
  --dbpath=<path>       Specify an alternative path to store Skype data 
files.
                        Default: ~/.Skype
  --resources=<path>    Specify a path where Skype can find its resource 
files.
                        Default: /usr/share/skype
  --secondary           Start a secondary instance of Skype.
  --disable-api         Disable Skype Public API.
  --callto <nick>
  skype:<nick>?<action>
                        These commands allow Skype links handling.
  --pipelogin           Command line login. "echo username password | 
skype --pipelogin"
  --version             Display version information and exit.
thufir at dur:~$ 


while it certainly invokes skype, I must be using incorrecty syntax.



thanks,

Thufir
