There is a command-line utility testing and reporting tool for multicast DNS in the current builds of both Tiger and Leopard. Called 'dns-sd' (with sd as shorthand for Service Discovery) it's a replacement for the less-informative mDNS command. dns-sd is meant for interactive service discovery, not for scripting (its API's, however, are listed in /usr/include/dns_sd.h.)

Obviously, 'man dns-sd' will explain it far better than I.

This is from the man page OMM, 10.7.3:
dns-sd(1)                 BSD General Commands Manual                dns-sd(1)

NAME
    dns-sd -- Multicast DNS (mDNS) & DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) Test Tool

SYNOPSIS
    dns-sd -R name type domain port [key=value ...]

    dns-sd -B type domain

    dns-sd -L name type domain

DESCRIPTION
    The dns-sd command is a network diagnostic tool, much like ping(8) or
    traceroute(8). However, unlike those tools, most of its functionality is
    not implemented in the dns-sd executable itself, but in library code that
    is available to any application. The library API that dns-sd uses is
    documented in /usr/include/dns_sd.h. The dns-sd command replaces the
    older mDNS(1) command.

    The dns-sd command is primarily intended for interactive use. <SNIP>

Subject: ichat on message received handler
Message-ID: <email@hidden">email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,

I've been working on this for a while, writing code then erasing it all and writing again, checking the net for other examples, but can't get around it, or maybe i'm not sure how exactly on handlers work yet.

I've tried the handler example on a script which monitors my ichat and upon reception of a message, takes the content of the message, compares it with a list i have, then plots a chart and sends back to the sender.

I've figured out everything for plotting the chart with smilelab's graph maker, as well as a workaround for dragging and dropping generated image into the ichat window and sending it with a keycode 36 ui command.

However, i'm still stuck at the ichat "message received" handler.

Here's what i wrote:

Set thebuddy to buddy id "blahblah"
Set curpair to {"eu", "gu", "au", "nu"}
Set posvalue to ()
Set errmsg to {"syntax error, unrecognized currency pair", "unknown pair, please try eu, gu, au or nu"}
On message received from thebuddy For ichat
Set thetext to message received
Repeat with i from 1 to count of curpair
If thetext is item i of curpair
--Tell block for plotting graph (didn't include it here)--
--tell block for sending created image in ichat back to sender (didn't include either)--
Copy "true" to end of posvalue
Else
Copy "false" to end of posvalue
End if
End repeat
If every item of posvalue is "false"
Tell application "ichat"
Send an item of errmsg to thebuddy
End if
End tell
End message received

This has several problems, mainly that buddy id works for sending, but not for using as a variable, but that's just a restriction i have for 1 buddy.

However, is the syntax for the on handler correct?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, and best regards

Yuma
