All you'd need would be a jabber client that can send msgs via the
command line, and a shell script run from cron - yes? If you're looking
to redirect messages already sent by cron, that's a bit harder. There's
an ugly hack that comes to mind, though. Make a script called 'mail' and
make sure the PATH of cron's environment places it before the real mail
binary. That script would read stdin to a buffer then send a jabber
message once cron finished sending log data. Sound reasonable? I think
it's horrible, but it might just work...
Try freshmeat.net and see if you can find a suitable client.
