Check if $HOME/bin is in your $PATH
echo $PATH | grep $HOME/bin
If isn't the case, add it according to your shell. Example for Bash:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin; export PATH
The script will send a jabber message to the specified JID by the -t option.
The subject can be specified using the -s option, and the body can be
specified using the -b option. If the body is omitted, it will be taken from
stdin on run.
Send a message
jabbersend -t [email protected] -s "This is a test" -b "Hello, how are you?"
or by this way
echo "Today is a beautiful day!" | jabbersend -t [email protected] -s "This is another test"
