NAME

psyclisten - a minimal PSYC server that receives messages

SYNOPSIS

 psyclisten [<options>]

 Options:
        -x              Use notify-send to inform an X11 user
        -n              Do not store large messages in file dumps
        -d              Debug: output a raw format
        -b <uniform>    PSYC address to bind to
        -h              Output this usage help message
        -q              Be more quiet

DESCRIPTION

This tool binds to a PSYC address, then receives messages using the PSYC syntax. You can use tools like psycmsg to generate such messages, or simply use /msg or /talk from a psyced server.

Forwarding messages to the desktop

With the -x option, the notify-send command is used to forward conversational messages to the desktop. So you can have a psyclisten run as a daemon.

Receiving file transfers

Currently file transfers aren't implemented as such, but, unless option -n has been provided, any data content exceeding a certain limit is stored into a file in the current directory. You can launch a file transfer using psyccat.

CAVEATS

As long as Net::PSYC does not provide any encryption, you should use this within a trustworthy local network or as a localhost service.
