Free akeni instant messaging software for linux

Akeni Instant Messaging - Pro is a client/server instant messaging platform that allows companies to host their own secured private IM system. The client has an user interface similar to AIM, ICQ, or MSN Messenger. It supports all the standard IM features such as chat, group conference, presence management, file transfer, offline messages and emergency alert/notification. Extra features include contact management and optional tabbed chat sessions.

The server has administration tools like managing user accounts, client-side logging capabilities and peer-to-peer file transfers. Akeni Pro Messenger can be setup on a private network without connecting to the internet and can easily be setup for use inside and outside the company firewall.

SIM Instant Messenger provides an plugins-based instant messenger with support for various protocols.
Based on the Qt library it works on X11 (optional with KDE-support), MS Windows and MacOS X.
Main modules
- Core (_core) is the program interface
- Migrate (__migrate) Converts the old SIM 0.8.3-settings to the new 0.9x format
- Homedir (__homedir) sets the configuration-directory
Protocols modules
All protocols support richtext-messages, file transfer, typing notification, server-side contact list (with postponed synchronization - you can change contact list in offline mode and after log on all changes will be synchronized with server), new account registration, various searches and HTTP-polling.
You can use multiple accounts for each protocol.
- Oscar - ICQ and AIM support
- Jabber
- LiveJournal
- MSN
- Yahoo!
Enhancements:
Build system
- Autotools: fix libXss detection.
- Add initial CMake support.
Core
- Disable history filter when it is empty.
- Remove "To container" menu when separate containers are disabled.
- Auto scroll message view only if it is scrolled to the bottom.

XPA Messaging provides seamless communication between Unix programs, including X, Tcl/Tk, and generic select() loops. XPA Messaging provides an easy way for users to communicate with these XPA-enabled programs by executing XPA client commands from a shell.
Because XPA works both at the programming level and the shell level, it is a powerful tool for unifying any environment, offering flexibility in choosing the best level at which to access XPA services.
A program becomes an XPA-enabled server by defining named points of public access through which data and commands can be exchanged with other client programs (and users). Using standard TCP sockets, XPA supports both single-point and broadcast messaging to and from these servers.
Enhancements:
- Ported to Intel icc and gcc 3.3 compilers.
- Upgraded to Tcl/Tk 8.4.
- Support has been added for generating man pages, PDF, and Postscript from the HTML pages.
- Potential buffer overflows in string handling have been fixed.
- There are numerous other bugfixes.

Instant is a Python module that allows for instant inlining of C and C++ code in Python. Instant is a small Python module built on top of SWIG.

Example of use:

>>> c_code = """
double sum(double a, double b){
return a+b;
}
"""
>>> import Instant
>>> ext = Instant.Instant()
>>>
>>> # create the wrapper code, compile and link it to a shared library
>>> ext.create_extension(code=c_code, module=test1_ext)
>>>
>>> # use the C code
>>> from test1_ext import sum
>>> print sum(3.7, 4.8)
8.5

Example with NumPy arrays converted to C double arrays:

>>> import Instant
>>> import Numeric
>>> import sys
>>> import time
>>>
>>> ext = Instant.Instant()
>>>
>>> c_code = """
/* add function for vectors with all safety checks removed ..*/
void add(int n1, double* array1, int n2, double* array2, int n3, double* array3){
for (int i=0; i >>"""
>>>
>>> ext.create_extension(code=c_code, headers=["arrayobject.h"],
>>> include_dirs=[sys.prefix + "/include/python" + sys.version[:3] + "/Numeric"],
>>> init_code=import_array();, module=test3_ext,
>>> arrays = [[n1, array1],[n2, array2],[n3, array3]])
>>>
>>> from test3_ext import add
>>> a = Numeric.arange(10000); a = Numeric.sin(a)
>>> b = Numeric.arange(10000); b = Numeric.cos(b)
>>> c = Numeric.arange(10000); c = Numeric.cos(c)
>>>
>>>add(a,b,c)

Lua Messaging Engine (LuME) is a set of scripts that offer abstract functions for communication via AOLs OSCAR protocol (as used by ICQ and AIM clients), Microsoft Messengers MSNP, and Yahoos YIM protocol. Lua Messaging Engine also includes utility functions for string operations, SHA hashing, and basic HTTPS communication.

An increasing number of software developers are making use of the simplicity and power behind employing a Lua script interface.

Meetroduction, LLC has been using a Lua script interface as a core design concept for the multi protocol messaging component of its proximity based people finder client: Meetro. Beyond that, the interface offers its users a flexible way to vastly extend the clients functionality.

Yafumato Web Messenger is a Web-based instant messenger client. Users can connect to supported instant messenger services using only a Web browser via HTTP (or HTTPS).
The Yafumato server connects to the messengers by proxy and provides the Web interface to the user, allowing instant messaging from computers where a desktop client cannot be used.
Yafumato Web Messenger is currently alpha software; as such, it has minimal error handling and is not feature complete.
Enhancements:
- The database is now an optional package; users can now login using messenger credentials rather than single sign-on using the database.
- Messenger session handling has been improved; any active messenger sessions are restored upon signin.
- Unstable messenger sessions can be disconnected and replaced using the new "Reset Messenger" link on the status page.

Mobile::Messaging::ParlayX is a Perl interface to ParlayX OSA.

SYNOPSIS

use Mobile::Messaging::ParlayX;

Mobile::Messaging::ParlayX is an interface to ParlayX web service by Sony Ericsson for SMS and MMS messaging, among other things. This being a Web Service SOAP::Lite would probably be better suited to the task, but I decided to stick with LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Request and XML::LibXML until things in SOAP::Lite stabilize (it is currently under rewrite as far as I know) and I have more time (not that this will happen anytime soon).

Besides, I cannot fully grasp ParlayX just yet, thanks to inadequate documentation and JAVA only code samples for it. Anyway, you need LWP::UserAgent, HTTP::Request and XML::LibXML for this module to work. Most are in the standard distribution already, but any of them are available at your local CPAN mirror.

I tried not to stray too far off the ``native JAVA names of methos and properties, but chances are some differences exist.

AIM Sniff is a utility for monitoring and archiving AOL Instant Messenger messages across a network.
You can either do a live dump (actively sniff the network) or read a PCAP file and parse the file for IM messages. You also have the option of dumping the information to a MySQL database, a flat file, STDOUT, or any combination of the three.
AIM Sniff allows administrators to see how often users are chatting to monitor for abuse and you can also use AIM Sniff to monitor for cases of harassment or pirated software trading. It has been tested on FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X.
AIM Sniff is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Enhancements:
- Several bugfixes from the alpha release are included, as well as a few feature enhancements.
- Daemon mode is now working, and there is a feature to not use a handles file (useful when using the software behind a NAT).
- In addition, the install will prompt for MySQL admin credentials for creating the database.
- Issues with the MSN message types crashing the DB and connections to the DB timing out after a period of time have been fixed.
- Also fixed is "noise" from database SQL statements.
