Hello!
Long ago I switched from Licq to CenterICQ (CenterIM, respectively) and
always wanted to know how to execute commands from within an away message.
In licq this can be done with a pipe ("|") at the beginning of a line. "|
fortune" for example, executes fortune each time a user reads the away
message, thus reading a random fortune message.
I didn't find anything about it, except some people having scripted
something.
I didn't have the time to have a closer look at some of these scripts,
though.
To cut a long story short: I wanted to know, if scripting is the only way to
execute e.g. fortune out of the away message or is there a way to specify
commands (e.g. with a pipe or an apostrophe?)
