Command line invocation with no GUI?

I see that in the 2005 feature request post there was some interest in being able to invoke Send SX from the command line. I am looking for a little Windows program that when called from the command line, will quietly open a MIDI file and send it out a MIDI port as directed, without the need to display any interactive GUI. Has this feature found its way into the latest build of Send SX? I need to do a system call from a Perl script to push MIDI SysEx out, like e.g.,
Can Bome Send SX currently do this?

sorry, currently this cannot be done with SendSX. We consider it for the next version.

Regards,
Florian

Thanks for your reply.

@ThomasSind,

Are you responding to my post from 4 years ago (Command line invocation with no GUI)? If so, could you please explain further your post? Thanks.

Hi bitSync, that was a forum spammer (which I've deleted now).
Thanks,
Florian

Thank you, Florian.

Just wondering, did a GUI-less command line invocation ever make it into the Send SX code base? I think the license I purchased some time back did not have that feature. Thanks!

A rudimentary way to do this made it into version 1.4: There is a /send parameter which will send the loaded file. So you can do this:
However, that will open a new Send SX window for every file you want to send. To prevent that, open the settings in Send SX, and enable "only allow one instance" at the bottom. Close SendSX and from now on there will always be just one instance executing your calls.
Not perfect, but a start

Nice. Thanks. I'll have to check my license version.
