Function: send messages via AIM/OSCAR

take a look at http://jeremy.kister.net./
for hosting/colo/Internet stuff, check out http://www.nntx.net/

Check for the latest version of this code at:
http://jeremy.kister.net/code/naim/

naim (Notify via AIM) is usefull for helping progams communicate by
sending messages via AIM.  Typical programs that could use this are:
Argus - http://argus.tcp4me.com
Nagios - http://www.nagios.org

Start this before argus/nagios is started; just as qpage and/or
qmail are.   If you're running sendmail, btw, you should move over to
qmail.

Be sure to run naimc as the same user that naimd is running as --
You dont want to run naimd as nobody and run naimc as root. 
It's easiest to run naimd as the same user argusd/nagios runs as.

e.g.: If you're running argusd as "argus", then run naimd as argus.

If you want to manually send a message with naimc, do something like:
su argus /usr/local/script/naimc DestinationUser 6969

go to www.aim.com and sign up for a new username/pw if you need one.
note: as of 2007/11/13, there is no need to even read their
confirmation email.

You can ask the bot several things:
ACK: N - ack notification id N
ACK: all - ack all notifications
argusctl status - prints output of `argusctl status`
whoson - prints a list of online buddies
ping - prints pong (useful for simple testing)
sleep - put the bot to sleep
/msg DestinationUser <msg> - relay a message to a buddy via the bot
HUSH: N - Hush AIM notifications to you for N minutes
AUTOACK: Nx - Autoack ALL notifications for N of x
         (where x is: s = sec, m = mins, h = hours, d = days -- eg: 15m or 2h)
