    This is a console client, not a command line one.

  • @shellholic What's your point? He explicitly mentions Terminal.

  • In a console client, there is a user interface in a terminal. In a command line client, you type commands after commands in the terminal. For example, in the field of file manipulation, "ls, cd, mv, cp" are command line client and mc (Midnight Commander) is a console client.

    For example, the Jabber partial client here: sendxmpp is a command line one. You can pipe to it. echo "my message" | sendxmpp [email protected]

There is a Perl script that can be usefull, but only for sending: sendxmpp

  • It doen't work with different domain (when Jabber server was moved to another domain name, but virtual hosts remain with the old name).
