xmppipe redirects stdin/stdout in a shell pipeline to an XMPP MUC (XEP-0045) or a one to one chat. Supports flow control using stream management (XEP-0198). Optionally deals with overload by acting as a circuit breaker or by discarding messages. Works with line oriented tools like grep, sed and awk by outputting each message as a newline terminated, percent-encoded string. xmppipe can be used in shell scripts to quickly write interactive bots for monitoring systems or for sending alerts.

Requires libstrophe.
