This is a simple plugin that will add a "Pipe event" action that you can add
7
-
to events, which will pipe the contents of the event text to an executable of
8
-
your choosing.
9
-
10
-
The most common case would be adding it to the "Message received" event, which
11
-
would pipe the content of the incoming message to your program.
12
-
13
-
To install, download the plugin:
14
-
15
-
https://github.com/downloads/jcs/adium-pipemessage/PipeEventPlugin.AdiumPlugin.zip
16
-
17
-
Unzip it and double-click it. Adium should notify you that the plugin has been
18
-
installed and you may have to restart Adium.
19
-
20
-
In Adium's Preferences, choose Events. You may also create a per-contact alert
21
-
by double-clicking on a contact and clicking the Events icon.
22
-
23
-
Click an event, such as "Message received", and click the [+] button. Select
24
-
"Pipe event to command". Enter the *full path* to your command and hit OK.
25
-
26
-
The command will be executed every time the event is run and have STDOUT and
27
-
STDERR closed, and then have the full content of the event/message written to
28
-
its STDIN. For easier scripting, the event/message has a trailing newline
29
-
appended. The title of the event (for messages, the sender's name) will be
30
-
passed to the command as its first argument.
31
-
32
-
A simple script that will write every received message to a file:
33
-
34
-
#!/usr/bin/ruby
35
-
File.open("#{ENV['HOME']}/adium.log", "a+") do |f|
36
-
f.puts "#{Time.now}: #{ARGV[0]} - #{STDIN.read}"
37
-
end
38
-
39
-
Note: make sure the command is executable (chmod +x).
