Re: [gentoo-user] Sending IMs from a script
This is what I know from past resources of ICQ, at least: even if someone is not on your contact list, you can send and e-mail to something like UIN@ SOMETHING.icq.com and the message will arrive to that user. For other protocols, I don't even know how to help you. Hmm, when you install pidgin, it also installs a text-based IM software, for you to use from a console. Maybe you should take a look at that.

I need to be able to send alerts to people from a monitoring program. I have a solution for you (thought I do not know how this is related to gentoo). Look at http://vorner.pretel.cz/en/projects.html#jelnet -- it's a jabber telnet, you can let it connect to server and pipe some raw protocol into it. So you need something like: jeltet [EMAIL PROTECTED] --password=password END message to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' type='headline' subjectNotification/subject bodyThis is your notification/body /message END It has a disadvantage -- it logs in, sends a message and logs out every time you send a notification. If you want to send from time to time, it is no problem, but with a notification every minute or so, it can be an issue. (Then you might need some fifo, cat, and tricks like that) I hope this helps. -- I left the ssh key under the doormat Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgp1YoUuzuxyj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Just for refrence, you could use an IRC client connected to bitlbee to do the same thing, and all you would have to do would learn how to handle scripting responses into the irc client. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
