I have an interesting problem.

Our internet connection at work has been "problematic". (it fails on average once every 2week for about 2 min). I need to know when the problem happens so I can run some tests while the connection is down.

What I'm looking for is some way to send a message via IM in a script. I have a process that checks various /var/log files and sends me an e-mail each time the connection goes down, but I would prefer if the message was sent via either jabber or the "Bonjour/Avahi/People Nearby/Rendezvous" protocol. Any suggestion on a CLI client that could be used in a script?

I assume you have a secondary internet connection (obviously?)...
I do. The transition is not always smooth, but we have a slower second link.

this could be helpful: http://www.howtoforge.com/send-instant-messages-notifies-by-xmpp-jabber-google-talk-from-linux-command-line and https://www.ebower.com/docs/ubuntu-scripted-gtalk/

Thanks. I was hopping to find one solution that support serverless xmpp, but I guess I'll have to install a server inside our network...
