Update:
Method above will not work. I forgot that D-BUS session is only available from the session itself (it is created when your graphical environment is started). So cron is not able to update it.
I will try to modify the script to include your request ASAP. :)

You don’t really need a special script for that. You can just add a line into the crontab to be executed every 10 minutes. For example:

*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/pidgin_status.py -f /usr/local/share/bofh-example

This solves your problem. :)

Is it possible to create timed random line from a file ? Let say, I would like to change the status every 10 minute randomly… is it possible ? can you do it for me on your next weekend :D ? Please :(

Hello LGee, thanx for dropping by. :)

Yes, there is PuTTY for Linux, but why would you use it when you have “normal” ssh client from the console? I don’t like using additional tools unless it is really necessary.

And you are also right about the quotes and apostrophes, it is the problem of WordPress software which is used on this blog. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this.

Well, this is a bit late, but I have read this entry recently.

First, there is PuTTY for Linux as well if you need (more or less) the same. It works fine, but you don’t have the ‘window context menu’ (no Duplicate Session or Change Settings etc.) Second, the apostrophes used in the above code are not suitable for direct copy paste into the shell (they are not ‘typewriter apostrophes’, rather ‘acute accents’.)

LGee

Gee… i have life as boring as yours, but your script is awesome. I’ve add a switch -g witch add a link to google search next after the status.

….and now i can make some silly status next from my pidgin, as silly as my self.

Thanks.
