I just want to (mis)use Jabber to replace the old Samba+Winpopup
solution.
(Of course I could implement it like a single threaded printer-
spooler
but maybe there already is a Jabber way of accomplishing it...)
Everyone elas has answered your question but I just wanted to point
out that this is very much *NOT* a mis-use of Jabber. Jabber is not
just IM by any means. Read JDEV, and S-JIG, you'll see all sorts of
non-IM use cases tossed around. Chess and Whiteboarding are some
current topics on S-JIG for example.
Totally agree, but I always had my doubts of how well this would work
in reality.
For ex:
- I use my JID to log-on with Psi for IM;
- two or more scripts I wrote are already logged on with my own
account doing some automated actions over XMPP. They use negative
priority;
If I log-of, the other resources will still make me "online". Also,
there is no capability I can advertise that would mean "Not For Chat"-
session.
This bots want to be online, because the services they are
interacting with want to react to their presence, but they shouldn't
be representations of my personal IM status.
What I do now is use a different account for them, but it seems wrong.
XMPP would serve very well as a messaging backbone for all of Nagios
for that matter.
eheh :)
That was a project at a place I used to work.
I always add the dream of seeing a MUC chatroom with all the
mailservers of a SMTP-cluster chatting and exchanging IP's of known
spam sources that would get blocked with IP tables. Image entering
such a room and saying: "all, block x.y.z.w"
Best regards,
