Just something I've been curious about. I've been messing a fair bit with some of my own scripts, and in some cases, getting sent an IM would be useful to let me know when a task is done.
So, here's what I need:
- the ability to set account information in a text file
- It'd be okay if I can designate only a single recipient, or set recipients in the config file
- at the very least, jabber support
- Be able to be controlled via standard shell commands - for example I should be able to pipe a message output into the program for example
sh foo.sh|climprog -recipient
should send the output of foo.txt via the I'm programme to a set recipient on the account's contact list.
Anything that fits the bill?
Could you please provide some more information about what these are and how they would be helpful? – nhinkle – 2011-04-17T21:24:05.633
Thanks for updating your post! It looks much better now :) – nhinkle – 2011-04-17T22:26:01.050
OOH, inelegant, ugly and hackish - i totally approve. It'll need some setup and testing before i can mark it as the right answer, but for now, +1 for a rather interesting solution. – Journeyman Geek – 2011-04-18T05:45:03.197
Yeah, it's way too much software... but the good thing is that it all already exists. You basically just have to write the script that does the logic :) – Hobblin – 2011-04-18T11:19:11.347
well, it does everything i need it to. Who cares how ugly it is ;) – Journeyman Geek – 2011-04-21T11:11:58.023
