+# 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
+
+# Basic example can look like this:
+ # echo "<$PURPLE_FROM> $PURPLE_MSG";
+
+# There are lot of hacks that you can do with this simple framework if you know some scripting. eg.:
+ # Forward your instant messages to email, SMS gateway, text-to-speach (eg. espeak) or something...
+ # Smart auto-replying messages based on regular expressions
+ # Remote control your music player (or anything else on your computer) using instant messages
+ # Simple IRC/Jabber/ICQ bot (accepts PM only)
+ # Providing some service (Searching web, Weather info, System status, RPG game...)
+ # BackDoor (even unintentional one - you've been warned)
+ # Loging and analyzing messages
+ # Connect IM with Arduino
+ # Annoy everyone with spam (and probably get banned everywhere)
+ # Anything else that you can imagine...
+
+# Maybe you will want to add more hooks for receiving messages, so i've made following script
+ # It just executes all +x files in answerscripts.d directory so you should do your magic there
+ # To disable some of those scripts just use chmod -x script
+
+dir="$(dirname "$0")"/answerscripts.d
+if test -d "$dir"; then
+ for script in "$dir"/*; do
+ test -x "$script" && "$script"
