Maki Registered Member Posts 56 Karma 0 OS	[Kopete] Scriptable status message Fri Jun 05, 2009 1:18 pm The idea is to use output of a command as the status message in kopete. IMHO this would be a really cool feature, you could use fortune to show nice aphorism, could use it to sow systeminfo, and what else not. At the moment one can use Code: Select all `dbus-send --session --dest=org.kde.kopete --type=method_call --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 /Kopete org.kde.Kopete.setOnlineStatus string:'' string:$(command)` but it's not that friendly, an kopete plugin that can do that would be really cool Maki, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.

With it I could set status text to current music in xmms2 (currenly there is no support for it in Kopete I believe). Do not try this at home, part 1. Second most favorite command after KDE upgrade: # chmod -x /usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd
