-# This file is called for every message received by libpurple clients (pidgin,finch,...)
-# - Following env values are passed to this script:
-# - ANSW_FROM (who sent you message)
-# - ANSW_MSG (text of the message)
-# - ANSW_STATUS (unique ID of status. eg.: available, away,...)
-# - ANSW_STATUS_MSG (status message set by user)
-# - WARNING: You should mind security (don't let attackers to execute their messages/nicks!)
-# - Each line of output is sent as reply to that message
-# - You can try to rewrite this script in PERL or C for better performance (or different platform)
-# - This script have .exe suffix as i hope it can be eventualy replaced by some binary on windows
-#
-# Basic example can look like this:
-# [ "$ANSW_STATUS" != 'available' ] && echo "<$ANSW_FROM> $ANSW_MSG" && echo "My status: $ANSW_STATUS_MSG";

-# There are lot of hacks that you can do with this simple framework if you know some scripting. eg.:
-# - Forward your instant messages to email, SMS gateway, text-to-speach (eg. espeak) or something...
-# - Smart auto-replying messages based on regular expressions
-# - Remote control your music player (or anything else on your computer) using instant messages
-# - Simple IRC/Jabber/ICQ bot (accepts PM only, you can run finch in screen on server)
-# - Providing some service (Searching web, Weather info, System status, RPG game...)
-# - BackDoor (even unintentional one - you've been warned)
-# - Loging and analyzing messages
-# - Connect IM with Arduino
-# - Annoy everyone with spam (and probably get banned everywhere)
-# - Anything else that you can imagine...
+# This file is called for every message received by libpurple clients (pidgin,finch,...)
+# - You can try to rewrite this script in PERL or C for better performance (or different platform) - let me know
+# - On M$ Windows answerscripts.exe from libpurple directory will be called instead of this script
#
# Maybe you will want to add more hooks for receiving messages, so i've made following script
# - It just executes all +x files in answerscripts.d directory so you should do your magic there
-# - To disable some of those scripts just use chmod -x script
+# - To disable some of those scripts simply use: chmod -x ./script
+# - There is some basic structure, which means that all scripts should start their names with two-digit number
+# - Files are executed in order specified by those numbers and some numbers have special meanings:
+# - AB?!_ scripts without numbers are NOT executed!
+# - 00 executed immediately, zero or single line output (parallel async processing)
+# - 01-48 executed immediately, multiline output (serial processing)
+# - 49 delay script (adds random delay to emulate human factor, no user scripts at this level!)
+# - 50 executed after delay, zero or single line output (parallel async processing)
+# - 51-79 executed after delay, multiline output (serial processing)
+# - 80-99 reserved for future
-#legacy support, please do NOT use PURPLE_* variables in new scripts,
-#this will be removed in future releases:
-export PURPLE_FROM="$ANSW_FROM"
-export PURPLE_MSG="$ANSW_MSG"
+#this may be modified to use run-parts from coreutils in future (can't get it to work):
