Send private message to Discord user using bash and linux AT command

Question

I'm running a Discord bot written in Python nohup python3 ./bot.py &. With this bot you can schedule a task which has to run only once. I'm executing bash from Python to schedule a script to run at a certain time. This works.

I want to send the user a private message in Discord that the command has been executed. I can't think a way how to send the user a private message after the bash command has been executed. I know the username of the user because its part of the scheduled job.

My question: what is the best way to send a user a message using bash? If possible..

Answer 1

The code will be:

import sys

@client.event()
async def on_ready()
    user = int(sys.argv[1])
    user = await client.fetch_user(user)

    message = str(sys.argv[2])
    await user.send(message)

Now you can go python3 bot.py <userid> “<message>“ The message must be in “” the user id must be the user id and not the name. If you dont want to specify the user/message everytime,Just change the variable
