in thread using jabber for RPC or inter-server-communication

sure sounds neat..only problem being (ahem) mysql's extensive support for triggers ;-)
very TMTOWTDI way to do it, too...but i'll just be stubborn as hell and stick to jabber (did some testings i rather liked).
it does have the enormous advantage of making debugging a lot easier, too...
thanks, again.

    indeed... you'll be able to interact with your agents (servers) just like you would a good friend.

    watcher@host.sub.dom says yo! 192.168.254.12 just scanned me!
    
    bofh@sub.dom says you hear that Q? block that biatch.
    
    Q@sub.dom says right away sir!
    
    luser@sub.dom says my printer stopped working, what gives?
    
    bofh@sub.dom says what's it's name/ip?
    
    luser@sub.dom says printer4.sub.dom
    
    /msg Q wha? printer4
    Q@sub.dom says hrm, printer4 eh?
      host: printer4
      status: disabled (expired account 12345)
    /msg Q tell luser wha
    
    bofh@sub.dom says somebody forgot to pay $$ do you have a new account?
    
    luser@sub.dom says 54321
    
    /msg Q mod printer4 account 54321
    Q@sub.dom says mod printer4 eh?
      host: printer4
      status: nominal
    
    bofh@sub.dom says fixed u luser biatch
    
    Q@sub.dom says block 192.168.254.1 active
    ...
    

    then i just have to replace myself with a bot and go on a long vacation.

      actually, this is kinda what i'm doing!
      seriously! i even got some PHBs asking my system in plaintext about sales in stores, and they like it!
      now, where did that ELIZA code go.... ;-)
