Send iMessages from the command line using Bash and AppleScript

readme.md

Sending iMessages from the command line using Bash and AppleScript.

Usage:

Change the you@icloud.com email to the address you use for iMessage.

and call the script with the first parameter being the recipient and the second one being your message, for example:

$ ./imsg someone@icloud.com "Hello World!"

imsg

#!/bin/bash

if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ] ; then
        echo "Usage: imsg [address] [message]"
else
        /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Messages"
        send "'"$2"'" to buddy "'"$1"'" of service "E:you@icloud.com"
        end tell'
        echo "Sent"
fi

Thank you for this script, but it's giving me the following
26:117: execution error: Messages got an error: Invalid key form. (-10002)

Any ideas how to fix it?
