I have a tough one for you. I want to be able to send an IM via YM when an event occurs. So I need *something* that can send the IM either as a command line app or via a web page URL call, all w/o user intervention.
The only thing I have found so far is jYMSG, a java-based tool but I see reports that it is no longer working.
Worst case scenario I could accept MSN or even AIM, but I highly prefer YM.
Ideas?
That thing is using a 3-rd party website as a relay.. and they changed the protocols, tried it already :(
How about a text message to a cell phone?
2 issues with that:
-I don't want to get them at 3AM (YM can collect and deliver them when I sign in) - though I could make things more complicated and collect based on a schedule, then only deliver between certain hours
-I prefer getting an IM when I'm logged in as a link might be included - easy to just click it...
So why not use google mail and the notifier?
No cell support for it :(Quote:

Because I want to receive it during the day whether I am near my computer or not...
SOLVED!
I found a program called centericq that supports commands... Looks simple enough...
Only thing is that an instance of centericq must be running and logged on, but I can check that with pslist and start it if needed ;)Code:>echo test message|centericq.exe -b . -a -s msg -p yahoo -t YAHOOUSERNAME
Cool...
So if you are not near your computer, what are you receiving IMs with?
Cellphone... and then I can send an IM and use the automation features in trillian to do different things :DQuote:

It does - but it's not a crackberry - so I would have to keep checking email as opposed to just getting an IM as a text message. Also email uses data bytes and I want to get rid of the internet part of the plan.Quote:

No, because it automagically signs me out from the cell once I log on to YM on my computer. Then I sign in again on the cell when I leave...
Ah right, so you sign on at home to Yahoo... gotcha!
