IM "aggregation" with BitlBee

Posted by Doomshammer on Tuesday, February 7. 2006 at 08:54 in Anwendungen, Arbeit, English only, Linux/Unix

Some days ago axel-fox asked me if it would be possible to install BitlBee on the shell server where his account lives. As user-requests are always welcome I finally installed BitlBee yesterday.


BitlBee is a IM "aggregation" -> IRC Gateway. It lets you manage all of your IM accounts centralized on an IRC-like server. The supported protocols are: ICQ, AIM, MSN, Jabber and yahoo.

BitlBee is pretty cool. You just connect to localhost:6667 with your favourite IRC client and find yourself in an IRC channel called "&bitlbee". Then with the simple command "register" you register your nickname to the BitlBee server. Then you can add with "account add" all of your different IM accounts. Finalize it with a "account on" and you will be "online".

The nicklists from AIM, MSN, yahoo and jabber will be read from the corresponding server, so you can directly start chatting. Just type "<nickname>: <message>" and it will be sent to the contacts IM account.

Great stuff. If you have an account on my shell servers, be invited to test this cool stuff :-)
