Example of sending ether on testnet from an account loaded via the private key, to another address:

$ eth-send \
--from 4f3edf983ac636a65a842ce7c78d9aa706d3b113bce9c46f30d7d21715b23b1d \
--to 0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0 \
--amount 0.01 \
--network rinkeby
sending transaction:
network: rinkeby
from: 0x90F8bf6A479f320ead074411a4B0e7944Ea8c9C1
to: 0xffcf8fdee72ac11b5c542428b35eef5769c409f0
amount: 0.01 ETH (10000000000000000 wei)
gas: 21000
gasPrice: 1 gwei
tx hash: 0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00

Use the silent flag to only return the transaction hash:

$ eth-send [...] --silent
0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00

You may use a custom provider in the network flag:

$ eth-send [...] --network https://rinkeby.infura.io/

The sender private key can be set as an environment variable:

FROM=4f3edf983ac636a65a842ce7c78d9aa706d3b113bce9c46f30d7d21715b23b1d eth-send [....]

Piping ETH amount to send:

$ echo 0.1 | eth-send [...]
0x8ee7ed489c7cb206cd9b4ff65a5d2977324b4f727b12cd2e0c0bbcaa59219e00
