5 | # - ANSW_FROM (who sent you message) | |
6 | # - ANSW_MSG (text of the message) | |
7 | # - ANSW_STATUS (unique ID of status. eg.: available, away,...) | |
8 | # - ANSW_STATUS_MSG (status message set by user) | |
9 | # - WARNING: You should mind security (don't let attackers to execute their messages/nicks!) | |
10 | # - Each line of output is sent as reply to that message | |
11 | # - You can try to rewrite this script in PERL or C for better performance (or different platform) | |

b44d7b66 | 14 | # Basic example can look like this: |
0636d441 H |
15 | # [ "$ANSW_STATUS" != 'available' ] && echo "<$ANSW_FROM> $ANSW_MSG" && echo "My status: $ANSW_STATUS_MSG"; |

18 | # - Forward your instant messages to email, SMS gateway, text-to-speach (eg. espeak) or something... |
19 | # - Smart auto-replying messages based on regular expressions | |
20 | # - Remote control your music player (or anything else on your computer) using instant messages | |
21 | # - Simple IRC/Jabber/ICQ bot (accepts PM only, you can run finch in screen on server) | |
22 | # - Providing some service (Searching web, Weather info, System status, RPG game...) | |
23 | # - BackDoor (even unintentional one - you've been warned) | |

b44d7b66 | 29 | # Maybe you will want to add more hooks for receiving messages, so i've made following script |
0636d441 H |
30 | # - It just executes all +x files in answerscripts.d directory so you should do your magic there |
31 | # - To disable some of those scripts just use chmod -x script | |

33 | #legacy support, please do NOT use PURPLE_* variables in new scripts, |
34 | #this will be removed in future releases: | |
35 | export PURPLE_FROM="$ANSW_FROM" | |
36 | export PURPLE_MSG="$ANSW_MSG" | |

38 | #this should be modified to use run-parts in future: | |
