# This file is called for every message received by libpurple clients (pidgin,finch,...)
- # Env variables PURPLE_MSG and PURPLE_FROM are passed to this script
- # Which means you should mind security (don't let attackers to execute their messages)
- # 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
- # This script have .exe suffix as i hope it can be eventualy replaced by some binary on windows
-
+# - 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:
- # echo "<$PURPLE_FROM> $PURPLE_MSG";
-
+# [ "$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)
- # 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...

# 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

+#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 should be modified to use run-parts in future:
dir="$(dirname "$0")"/answerscripts.d
if test -d "$dir"; then
for script in "$dir"/*; do
test -x "$script" && "$script"
done
