Ok, I can't resist

That's specific example for a syslog monitor, but it did lead me to sendxmpp, which seems exactly what I'd need. I checked jabber.org & they're closed for registration, but it is mentioned that I'd be able to send to a Gtalk account. So that lead me to this simple howto:

1. make sure that you are using latest sendxmpp (I have sendxmpp 1.20)

2. add your Google Talk account info to the .sendxmpprc file:
your_name@gmail.com;talk.google.com your_password

3. use the following command to send message to Google Talk user someone@gmail.com:
$ echo "GTalk test" | sendxmpp -t -u your_name -o gmail.com someone

Example:
.sendxmpprc: john@gmail.com;talk.google.com password

$ echo "GTalk test" | sendxmpp -t -u john -o gmail.com someone

Which doesn't give an error, but how do I get the message to my phone? I created a new IM account using the gmail address that I sent the message to, but what now?
