I have a solution for you (thought I do not know how this is related to |
| 9 |
gentoo). Look at http://vorner.pretel.cz/en/projects.html#jelnet -- it's |
| 10 |
a jabber telnet, you can let it connect to server and pipe some raw |
| 11 |
protocol into it. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So you need something like: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
jeltet bot@address --password=password <<END |
| 16 |
<message to='recipient@server' type='headline'> |
| 17 |
<subject>Notification</subject> |
| 18 |
<body>This is your notification</body> |
| 19 |
</message> |
| 20 |
END |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It has a disadvantage -- it logs in, sends a message and logs out every |
| 23 |
time you send a notification. If you want to send from time to time, it |
| 24 |
is no problem, but with a notification every minute or so, it can be an |
| 25 |
issue. (Then you might need some fifo, cat, & and tricks like that) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I hope this helps. |
