Computers Talking over OSes, over decades of AGES.
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2022 12:42 am
Been awhile since I've had a reason to post. Haven't had need for writing a program in a while. Now I do.
Trying to send messages between a network of computers of various Makes, OS and above all ages. So far the easiest way we've found to send messages between system is Jabber, or Spark/OpenFire system. All is good until we need to have DOS or Windows command line send a message to another user/computer.. IE sendxmpp.. So far haven't been able to get it to work.
Basically I want to be able to trigger a script or batch file (depending on os) to send a message to a specific user (depending on what caused the trigger) and message (what happened).
sendxmpp driveway@chat.server.com "Motion has been detected on driveway"
Library I can add?
Looking into msg, but don't think it'll work across all the systems..
Yes, this is for Education. Yes Kids are involved. NO we don't have any money so we use what we can dig up!
Any ideas?
Thanks
