sendxmpp 0.0.8

sendxmpp project is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber), similar to what mail does for mail. sendxmpp was written by me, Dirk-Jan C. Binnema, and is available under the term of the GNU General Public License v2. The hard work is done by Ryan Eatmons Net::XMPP-modules, and you need have them installed for sendxmpp to work. Obviously, you also need a jabber account; they are freely available at jabber.org, but you can also run your own server. sendxmpp is in use on computers around the globe, for example for distributing CVS-commit alerts, sending server warnings and notifying users. Example: Suppose you have to manage a remote server somewhere, and you have to keep an eye on its cpu load-average. You could write a script to check this, and run it periodically from cron. This script could contain something like: if test "$cpuload" -gt "$CPULOADMAX"; then top -b -n 1 | sendxmpp -s "wake up! cpu load $cpuload at `hostname`" someone@jabber.org fi And on my client machine, my jabber-client wil pop-up a message, depending on your client. There are many different client, for any platform/OS. Installation: unpack the tarball, and enter the new directory $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make install Whats New in This Release: - This version brings some documentation improvements and also you specify non-default port numbers for jabber servers..
