This is what I know from past resources of ICQ, at least: even if someone is
not on your contact list, you can send and e-mail to something like <UIN>@
SOMETHING.icq.com and the message will arrive to that user.
For other protocols, I don't even know how to help you.
Hmm, when you install pidgin, it also installs a text-based IM software, for
you to use from a console. Maybe you should take a look at that.
Regards,
Saffi

Pidgin's dbus interface can be used to send IM messages. The
purple-remote python script that installs with Pidgin can send IMs
from the command line via the goim command.

I have a solution for you (thought I do not know how this is related to
gentoo). Look at http://vorner.pretel.cz/en/projects.html#jelnet -- it's
a jabber telnet, you can let it connect to server and pipe some raw
protocol into it.
So you need something like:
jeltet bot@address --password=password <<END
<message to='recipient@server' type='headline'>
<subject>Notification</subject>
<body>This is your notification</body>
</message>
END
It has a disadvantage -- it logs in, sends a message and logs out every
time you send a notification. If you want to send from time to time, it
is no problem, but with a notification every minute or so, it can be an
issue. (Then you might need some fifo, cat, & and tricks like that)
I hope this helps.

use perl or die();
You could try searching http://search.cpan.org for your IM protocol and find
a module that fits.

For jabber solution, emerge dev-python/xmpppy and then use this
script: http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/examples/xsend.py to send
messages.

That's perfect, thanks very much.
Thanks for the other responses too, but I'd rather not install a full IM
client on this box.

Just for refrence, you could use an IRC client connected to bitlbee to
do the same thing, and all you would have to do would learn how to
handle scripting responses into the irc client.

An alternate way to send alerts is to send an email to their mobile phone.
