Multi-recipients transfers and automation¶

We want to transfer money to multiple recipients and to automate that process.

Create a recipients file¶

Create a file (i.e.: recipients.txt) containing the list of the recipients public keys you want to send money to.

recipients.txt

<ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE>

# comment 1
<amount1> <pubkey1>

# comment 2
<amount2> <pubkey2>:[<checksum2>]

The file content should be prefixed with RELATIVE or ABSOLUTE so the amounts will be expressed in UD Ğ1 or Ğ1.

Set up the authentication¶

Check authentication documentation on how to handle the authentication.

Transfer¶

Finally, you just have to run following command:

silkaj -a <account_name> money transfer --file recipients.txt

Automation¶

In case you want to automate a transfer on a regural basis, on the first day of the month in this example, you can set a crontab on your machine (preferably a machine running 7/24):

0 0 1 * * silkaj -a <account_name> money transfer --file recipients.txt --yes

Pass --yes option so no confirmation gets prompted. In case a password is set on the authentication, pass as well the --password <password> general option.
