Comments on Send Instant Messages (Notifies) By XMPP (Jabber/Google Talk) From Linux Command Line

Send Instant Messages (Notifies) By XMPP (Jabber/Google Talk) From Linux Command Line sendxmpp is a perl-script to send xmpp (jabber), similar to what mail does for mail. Obviously, to use sendxmpp , you need a jabber account; they are freely available at jabber.org, but you can also run your own server. The good news is, instant messaging between the Google Talk servers and its clients uses an open protocol, XMPP, allowing users of other XMPP/Jabber clients to communicate with Google Talk users. This tutorial shows how you can compile and install SendXMPP on CentOS 5.5 server.

sendxmpp needs ca_root_nss

for FreeBSD it is:

/usr/ports/security/ca_root_nss

 

do not forget to add symlink

ln -s /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt /etc/ssl/cert.pem

Google Talk account in sendxmpp can be configured as follows:
echo "[email protected] your-secure-password gmail.com" > ~/.sendxmpprc
The latest version of sendxmpp can be installed very simply:
cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/lhost/sendxmpp.git cp sendxmpp/sendxmpp /usr/local/bin/ chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/sendxmpp
and then send test message using your google account:
echo "test `date`" | sendxmpp --tls [email protected]
With talk.google.com server you must use "--tls" or "-t" parameter.
