sending notifications to windows instant messenger

[Andy Harrison]

The verbose only affects print statements, so if that's causing
issues, perhaps something got kludged in the cut and paste of the
code.

If you want to send to multiple recipients, you'll need to modify the
set_callback_signon_done callback routine.

But first, change the getopts param:

'rcpt=s' => \$opt_recipient
to
'rcpt=s' => \@opt_recipient
(change the use vars directive as well)

Then you'll change the send_im line to something like:

for ( @opt_recipient ) {
    $oscar->send_im( $_, $opt_message ) 
        or die ( "unable to send message\n" );
}

I was looking into your script as a way to notify during typical time
periods.... but I had a couple problems.


GetOptions ( 
'sn=s' => \$opt_screenname, 
'pw=s' => \$opt_passwd, 
'msg=s' => \$opt_message,
'rcpt=s' => \$opt_recipient
'v!' => \$opt_verbose
);

 

Seems to be missing something, and $opt_verbose caused the rest of the
script to have issues. I commented out all these references. And it
seemes to work, although the format is odd with the quotes.

Then I hit an issue.... Too many logins from the sending ID! Have you
considered how to avoid this if the Nagios system has multiple
services down and wants to notify many users? It may be sending man
messages to one, or many to many, or one to many. I'm not sure if
Yahoo or MAN block repeated signon, but AIL does, and I'd guess this
is the effort to reduce robots....

 
Thanks for the start though!

 
Al
