A set of scripts to translate iChat acronyms
Authored by: GlowingApple on Aug 13, '04 04:08:30PM

I'm not too familiar with Perl, is there any way to do this entirely in Applescript? I'd like to be able to capture iChat messages in a script so I can create a sort of remote command line for my mac (since if I don't know the current IP I can still send an IM and have it return that IP). So if I could capture the last message in Applescript then I could interpret it and send back a reply in an IM.

you could probably do that with adium. Are you talking about total unix terminal access, or just some arbitrary commands that do stuff, like turn on/off itunes, run a script, etc. Either way, that would end up being very insecure, mainly because anyone would have access to it (unless you knew enough applescript to make it ask for a password, etc).
