application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Hi,

I am looking for an application that gives easy access to changing my online status to busy or offline when I sleep. :confused:
Or a way to program my N900 to switch automatically to busy, say between midnight and 6am?

Thanks
Pazit

Is your n900 connected to internet "say between midnight and 6am"?

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Best application - hardware Off button.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Yes, I know I can disconnect the internet or switch the device off. I don't want to do that.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

SO you want to be connected to the interenet, but still be unavailable for ur IM friends? well than there is a button for you in the status menu, the one near the clock.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Yes, but I keep forgetting to switch it. If there was a button on the desktop which I could just press, or if it was automatic...

Ok, never mind. I guess there is not too much demand for such an application.

not an app, but maybe you could do it somehow through Queen Beecon widget.

As a lazy creature I would have use for this. I would be pleased if someone could just let us know the commands for going online and offline. Thanks in advance.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Yes that would be great, I could then program automatically going offline with "alarmed".
Queen Beecon may be a good solution as well, I'll try that.

Look at the Mission Control wiki page.
There is an entry there to shut sip accounts. You can modify it to shut everything.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

here is how

Install alarmed and have it run this script at sleepy time:

And then thius script at wakey brushy time:
offline"'} | sh


Or easier yet, just dont have your phone connected to the internet when you are ya know...asleep.

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Thanks, but it doesn't work for me. I have no idea how to program the n900, so please tell me what I did wrong:

I put an event in alarmed, scheduled daily at half past midnight, and the command I inserted was: "#!/bin/sh mc-tool list | grep "sofiasip" | awk {'print "mc-tool request "$1" offline"'} | sh".

But nothing happened at half past midnight, my SIP account is still online.

Why?

And how do I make it switch off my IM accounts? I actually don't mind if the SIP stays online. And I can't switch off the internet because I still need to get emails.

Do you have the mc-tool on your device?

Re: application that puts a chat online/busy/offline button on the desktop?
 

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but is there a way for the built in messaging client to switch to busy/away after a predefined idle time(after screen lock) and offline after another? I have searched and also asked before in different threads but have not found a solution. I know pidgin, etc could do that but I am interested in getting this to work with skype.
Thanks.

I don't have that...
And I can't find it in my applications manager, since I don't have any of the mentioned repositories. I can't find instructions on how to install these repositories.
Sorry for nagging, I really don't know much about the n900 or programming.
