exec-gtalk-bot

A Gtalk bot that supports running remote ssh commands. This was a hack I had worked on during one of the hack-nights at work.

How does it work ?

This hack uses PyGtalkRobot to bring up an instance of GtalkBot, which can run remote ssh commands via pysftp.

Usage

1. Install the following Python modules
   • pysftp
   • py3dns
   • xmpppy
   • configobj
2. Update the following details in config/auth_config.ini
   • gmail_bot_email_id
   • gmail_bot_password
   • username and password for ssh, as key/vals, for each gtalk user who wishes to run remote ssh commands
3. shell> python exec-chat.py
4. Add the Gtalk bot (gtalk-bot-email_id) to your Gtalk account and start chatting.
