Free short messages software for linux

Short Markup Language is an alternative XML notation that is a character by character equivalent with XML.
Short Markup Language covers all legal XML constructs, including processing instructions, doctype declarations, internal DTD subsets and namespace declarations.
Currently SML-to-XML and XML-to-SML converters have been implemented. The converters are based on efficient JavaCC parsers, and can be run from the command-line run or an Ant-task.
Short Markup Language is an open-source project, published under the GNU General Public Licence.
Enhancements:
- First release includes SML to XML and XML to SML converters in an easy to use executable jar.

cintoo Messages is a framework to make internationalization easier for Java applications. cintoo Messages framework supports locales for threads, and bundles can be associated with different packages.

This allows the usage of different bundles for different parts of the application, such as plugins, an installer, or a logging system. Bundles can be managed and associated with packages without any changes in the code.

This makes bundle management and refactoring much easier than with other solutions. cintoo Messages supports global locales for client applications written in Swing or SWT and thread-local ones for serverside Web applications.

Example:

Messages.setBundle("myBundle", "only.for.this.package");
...
Messages.setThreadLocale(new Locale("en", ""));
...
Messages.format(this, "myKey");

Off-the-Record Messaging is a Pidgin plugin that allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing:
Encryption
No one else can read your instant messages.
Authentication
You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
Deniability
The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured
the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
Perfect forward secrecy
If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is compromised.
Enhancements:
- Translations for English, Dutch, Spanish, French, Slovak
- Added option to not log OTR conversations
- Large messages are now fragmented transparently instead of failing
- Removed "view secure session id" and "verify fingerprint" options from the OTR button menu. Added "authenticate buddy" option in its place. This new option allows you to authenticate your buddies by entering some secret that only the two of you know, rather than by using a long user-unfriendly sequence of hex characters. [The old "verify fingerprint" dialog is still available via an "Advanced..." button from the new "authenticate buddy" dialog.]

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================
Enhancements:
- Ability to query the online/away status directly from Kopete (DCOP). This requires a patched Kopete, see the description for more details on how to proceed.
- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

Kopete Massive Messenger is a Kommander script that lets you send repetitive messages to your Kopete contacts.

ebXML::Message is a Perl module to encapsulate an ebMS message.

SYNOPSIS

use ebXML::Message;

# create new message

my $message = ebXML::Message->new
(
CPAId => http://www.you.org/cpa/123456,
Action => NewPurchaseOrder,
MessageId => 12,
RefMessageToId => 11,
Service => ebXML::Message::Service->new
(
VALUE => QuoteToCollect,
Type => myservicetypes,
),
);

# write SOAP XML using DOM

use XML::Xerses;

# DOM Document
my $target = XML::Xerces::StdOutFormatTarget->new();
$writer->writeNode($target,$message->getOutput(DOM-Doc);

# DOM generated / munged XML
print OUT $message->getOutput(DOM-XML);


# use message with SOAP::Lite to call webservice

use SOAP::Lite;

# SOAP::Data::Builder object
my $result = SOAP::Lite->uri(http://uri.to/WebService)
->proxy(http://uri.to/soap.cgi)
->parts($message->getMIMEParts)
->call($message->getOutput(SOAP-Data))
->result;

# SOAP::Data::Builder generated / munged XML
print OUT $message->getOutput(SOAP-XML);

An ebXML message encapsulates all the details of an ebMS message.
ebXML is a mechanism for ensuring reliable delivery of XML-based messages via a transport mechanism such as SOAP. For more details on ebXML, see http://www.ebxml.org/
