Hi

I have done a script to use sendxmpp to send messages between linux users You can see there https://github.com/cyttorak/say/blob/master/say and for example sudo say --to juan Hi, Juan send the messages "Hi, Juan" from root (using /root/.sendxmpprc) to juan (using /home/juan/.toxmpp) and I thing maybe you would like to add this feature in sendxmpp Also say --group sudo Hi, sudoers send a messages to all user in a group.

I hope you'll find it interesting. Thank.

Hi,

nice to hear about sendxmpp usage, but your shell script has spanish comments. It is possible to translate messages into english language?

Thanks, LH

Ok, this would be the messages in English: Line 7: There is no recipient available Line 17: There is no members in group $1 Line 22: There is no recipient available in group $1 Line 35: User $TO don't have xmpp account Line 42: $TO is not a recipient. You can try with xmpp account, file, user or group Lines 52-60: Examples: say file.txt cat file.txt | say say < file.txt say Hi, I am a message Use --to to set a recipient. Values admitted: xmpp account, file with xmpp account inside, user or group Use --all to send a message to all the available user in the system Use --group to send a message to all the available user in a group In other case the default recipient is root

Some Linux/Unix distributions may have different paths for ~/ when using sudo. On some Linux distros, such as Ubuntu, ~/ is the sudo user's own home directory, while on others it would be root's home directory.
