...that should give you an idea how to do it.
the whole idea of monitoring events with a bot is silly. Every program knows
what it is doing and is capable of sending signals/notifications when an event
happens. My django app tweets whenever a new report is added, my hg repository
sends a mail whenever a change takes place, my mailserver sends me a mail
whenever something happens ... let each application send a signal to the bot
which the bot can publish.
heh ...same difference. In the end someone/something would ...
- either actually 'monitor an event' (the presence of a signal/mail/sms/tweet)
synchronously and consume it when it occurs or
- would display the event asynchronously when command to.
(ie: the difference between mail/tweet/sms poping in front of you or you going
someplace to read it -- the 'monitoring' is done by you or something else)
Publish over email, sms, twitter, irc and what have
you - or maybe even ride the google wave.
Yes. I think the OPs requirement is to have something to monitor the published
event (in his case, the arrival of a mail) and announce its occurrence
synchronously, using a bot rather than doing it manually in an asynchronous manner.
