RemoteShell plugin for aMSN (Problem sending message)

[ikermendi]

I'm doing a plugin to control a remote computer with aMSN. The idea is, that a allowed_contact(configured by the user) can send a messages to a remote aMSN client and this aMSN client answear with the output of the command executed. For security, you can configure a sring with blocked commands.

The plugin accept the msg with a chat_msn_receive event and then it execute and save the output of the command on a variable. The problem is that i dont know how can i do to send this variable (command output) to the user automatically. Any ideas or examples?                                                                      
                                                                                                                                 
                      1)       USER {Send the command}--------------------------------------->REMOTE (aMSN) {Execute}                                    
                                                                                                               
                      2)     USER{View output on the chat}<----------------------------------REMOTE (aMSN) {Send command ouput}


thanks, iker.

The easiest way is o look at the file remote.tcl it has simple code to do simple tasks.. here's the code that should do what you need, it's from the 'proc msg' function, so take a look there :

Code:

set input [text ${win_name}.tmp]
$input insert end "${message}"

::amsn::MessageSend $win_name $input

destroy $input

This should send the message (it makes amsn think that you typed the text in the input window, faking the input window.. I'm sure there's an easier/cleaner way, but sorry, I don't have time to look at the code right now to find the appropriate function.
good luck
