[plug] Jabber and system status

[Weirdo]

As a keen user of jabber and interested in the capabilities of it, I was 
wondering if there is a way to get Linux to send system status updates and 
error messages to the admin through jabber.
All it would need to do is send a message to the admin and not start a 
chat, that way when the admin is offline it will just queue the message for 
him. I'm guessing the computer would need its own account and would just 
send an xml message to the server containing the server info.
The Info I would look at being sent would be uptime/user load, current 
connections (output of pinky), As well as a shutdown/reboot message to all 
online users (using the broadcast feature) and a message to the admin at 
system startup. Also all the subject lines of all error messages normally 
sent to the admin(root) by email.
If anyone has ideas of how to set this up please tell me.
Thanks
Tim
