An iChat paging AppleScript
Authored by: GlowingApple on May 22, '05 05:30:05PM

Since the advent of Panther I have been trying to get script iChat so I can see when a user sends me a message. The long term goal was to create a sort of command prompt with an IM so I can get my IP address, etc via IM. That way if I forget to update my dyndns I can update it remotely by getting my IP through iChat. Of course this is less secure than SSH, but it'll be fun to play with for simple things.

Thanks!

Regarding dyndns, why not use the DNS Update application? It can be set to run as a background daemon at startup. Off-topic, sure, helpful? I hope so.
