- Execute a chat script directly from the command line:
`chat '{{expect_send_pairs}}'`
- Execute a chat script from a file:
`chat -f '{{path/to/chat_script}}'`
- Set a custom timeout (in seconds) for expecting a response:
`chat -t {{timeout_in_seconds}} '{{expect_send_pairs}}'`
- Enable verbose output to log the conversation to `syslog`:
`chat -v '{{expect_send_pairs}}'`
- Use a report file to log specific strings received during the conversation:
`chat -r {{path/to/report_file}} '{{expect_send_pairs}}'`
- Dial a phone number using a variable, substituting `\T` in the script:
`chat -T '{{phone_number}}' '{{"ATDT\\T CONNECT"}}'`
- Include an abort condition if a specific string is received:
`chat 'ABORT "{{error_string}}" {{expect_send_pairs}}'`
