# Shell A connector for [opsdroid](https://github.com/opsdroid/opsdroid) to send messages using the command line. **Note:** _This connector only works on unix systems. It will not work on windows, it's recommended that you download the [Opsdroid Desktop App](https://github.com/opsdroid/opsdroid-desktop) to have opsdroid running on windows._ ## Requirements The shell connector requires access to user input, this means you should probably set the logging not to go to the console. ## Configuration ```yaml connectors: shell: # optional bot-name: "mybot" # default "opsdroid" ``` ## Disable Logging It's recommended to deactivate console logging in your `configuration.yaml` file if you intend to use this connector. Just add the following in your configuration file: ```yaml logging: console: false ```
