NIM - Nagios Instant Messenger
NIM allows you to send instant messages to arbitrary contacts. It consists of a client and a server, called nimc and nimd respectfully. nimd is threaded to allow for a high volume and bursts of incoming messages. New messages are sent to nimd by the nimc command line program, which passes the messages to nimd through either local unix domain sockets or over TCP. You could run nimd on a completely different server than your Nagios daemon, if you so wished.
Known Bugs
NIM isn't fully stable yet. I am still battling some weird behavior caused by Net::AIM and the TOC servers. It will usually run for at least a couple days, but sometimes it gets into weird states where it is still connected to the TOC server and is receiving messages, but when it tries to send messages, nothing happens. I have been looking into it. In the meantime, stopping and starting nimd will fix the problem. Consider this Alpha software.
