nagzillac - jabber relay bot client
nagzillac type^JID^message
This manual page documents briefly the nagzillac
command.
nagzillac is the client for nagzilla that takes the data
you hand it as argument and sends it over to the nagzilla daemon that will
send the message along.
nagzillac only takes one options that consists of three
arguments. They are seperated by the carret character(`^'), although
the last argument may contain carrets without any troubles. Here is an
explenation of the different parts:
- type
- This is the type of the message. It can be either room (which will send
the message to a jabber conference room) or chat (target should be a
jabber ID).
- JID
- This is the target for the message. If you choose room type it has
to be a conference room name or complete ID. A single room without any @
in it will get sent to the configured conference server. If you choose the
chat type the JID has to be the jabber ID of the user to receive
the message, either just the user part which will get added the jabber
server as domain part, or a full jabber ID.
- message
- The final part is the message that will get sent. At the moment it will be
put into the body as plain text. Please notice that you will have to quote
or escape special characters in the message like white space.
- /etc/nagzillac/nagzillac.cfg
- The configuration file for the nagzilla client. Please see the comments in
the file for informations on what to tweak.
