Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Alternative network messaging? Post 302718667 by 123_abc on Saturday 20th of October 2012 12:16:48 PM

I think I am going to simulate a network with VirtualBox, because here I have arbitrary amount of independent OSs.

The shell script should work like this:
1. The user logs in. Depending on his privileges, he can send messages to one user or to a group of users.
2. The receiver gets the message. If he is not online, the sender gets an error message.
The whole script shouldn't be based on P2P.

I am still unsure on which core commands this script should be build.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
