# 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
+# - You can try to rewrite this script in PERL or C for better performance (or different platform) - let me know
+# - On M$ Windows answerscripts.exe from libpurple directory will be called instead of this script
+#
+# 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 simply use: chmod -x ./script
+# - There is some basic structure, which means that all scripts should start their names with two-digit number
+# - Files are executed in order specified by those numbers and some numbers have special meanings:
+# - AB?!_ scripts without numbers are NOT executed!
+# - 00 executed immediately, zero or single line output (parallel async processing)
+# - 01-48 executed immediately, multiline output (serial processing)
+# - 49 delay script (adds random delay to emulate human factor)
+# - 50 executed after delay, zero or single line output (parallel async processing)
+# - 51-79 executed after delay, multiline output (serial processing)
+# - 80-99 reserved for future
-# Basic example can look like this:
- # echo "<$PURPLE_FROM> $PURPLE_MSG";
+#legacy support, please do NOT use PURPLE_* variables in new scripts,
+#this will be removed in future releases:
+export PURPLE_FROM="$ANSW_FROM"
+export PURPLE_MSG="$ANSW_MSG"
-# 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...
+#this may be modified to use run-parts from coreutils in future (can't get it to work):
-# 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
