dear all ... atracted by elliot's post, I think it's about "uncommon" XMPP client .... I want to tell you what i've done sometimes ago with a bunch of support and enlightment of Steven Maka.
Problem/Situation : I need a many-to-many communication between aplications. Chance : Use Jabber server as "reflector" Planned Scenario : every application make a login to a jabber chat room as XMPP client. Post what it want other to do to the room , and act as what other's post. Why XMPP4R : Simply because it's realy hard to find Perl/Pyton Document for real dumb stupid lazy coder like me. Experiment (Note : This is my dirty jum to Jabber, Ruby and XMPP4R) : 1. Install/setup a jabber server 2. Write a simple jabber client using XMPP4R. Functions included : - Alway keep the connection up - write the "message part" to std out of whatever it received from other (prepared to call another script based on received msg) - waiting msg from other local application via unix socket - send to other Jaber client what ever it received in unix socket 3. Learn about ttyctrl (http://ttyctrl.sourceforge.net/) ... this beast can call what ever script based on simple serial-com push-button 4. write another ruby script to be called by ttyctrl, function : - send msg to script#2, based on ttyctrl call. Test : - I login to my jabber using pidgin - the experiment mechine also login to the same jabber server. both script#2 and ttyctrl run in background. - whenenevr a button pushed at the experiment engine .... my pidgin shows the msg it send. Credit : - Steven Maka for his great XMPP4R , and tons of enlightment Sorry .. the codes has gone ... my HD formated for my cctv project :( Breaking news : There is a chance that I need to re-code and re-learn it from zero, some body want me to send CAN data from trucks to Fleet Management System.
