SYNOPSIS

8       sendxmpp [options] <recipient>
9

DESCRIPTION

11       sendxmpp is a program to send XMPP (Jabber) messages from the
12       commandline, not unlike mail(1). Messages can be sent both to
13       individual recipients and chatrooms.
14

OPTIONS

16       -f,--file <file> use <file> configuration file instead of ~/.sendxmpprc
17
18       -u,--username <user> use <user> instead of the one in the configuration
19       file
20
21       -p,--password <password> use <password> instead of the one in the
22       configuration file
23
24       -j,--jserver <server> use jabber server <server> instead of the one in
25       the configuration file. Note that you can add :<port> to use a non-
26       default port, ie. -j myjabber.org:1234
27
28       -r,--resource <res> use resource <res> for the sender [default:
29       'sendxmpp']; when sending to a chatroom, this determines the 'alias'
30
31       -t,--tls connect securely, using TLS
32
33       -c,--chatroom send the message to a chatroom
34
35       -s,--subject <subject> set the subject for the message to <subject>
36       [default: '']; when sending to a chatroom, this will set the subject
37       for the chatroom
38
39       -m,--message <message> read the message from <message> (a file) instead
40       of stdin
41
42       -i,--interactive work in interactive mode, reading lines from stdin and
43       sending the one-at-time
44
45       -v,--verbose give verbose output about what is happening
46
47       -h,--help,--usage show a 'Usage' message
48
49       -d,--debug show debugging info while running. WARNING: This will
50       include passwords etc. so be careful with the output!
51

CONFIGURATION FILE

53       You may define a '~/.sendxmpprc' file with the necessary data for your
54       xmpp-account, with a line of the format:
55
56          <user>@<host> <password>
57
58       e.g.:
59
60           # my account
61           alice@jabber.org  secret
62
63       ('#' and newlines are allowed like in shellscripts). You can add
64       :<port> to the <host> if you need an alternative port, ie.
65
66           # account with weird port number
67           alice@myjabberhost.com:1234 secret
68
69       NOTE: for your security, sendxmpp demands that the configuration file
70       is owned by you and has file permissions 600.
71

EXAMPLE

73          $ echo "hello bob!" | sendxmpp -s hello someone@jabber.org
74
75            or to send to a chatroom:
76
77          $ echo "Dinner Time" | sendxmpp -r TheCook --chatroom test2@conference.jabber.org
78
79            or to send your system logs somewhere, as new lines appear:
80
81          $ tail -f /var/log/syslog | sendxmpp -i sysadmin@myjabberserver.com
82
83            NOTE: be careful not the overload public jabber services
