If this is the only thing you need to do, maybe telepathy is not the right tool. I would use avahi for such a use case. machine2 would publish a dummy service and machine1 would poll for this service: ~machine1 $ avahi-browse -r _foo._tcp ~machine2 $ avahi-publish-service foo _foo._tcp 8080 You can feed some script on machine1 with the output of avahi-browse to trigger some action when machine2 comes online. You can also configure machine2 so that it permanently advertises for the foo service by adding stuff in /etc/avahi/services I hope that helps. -- Christophe-Marie _______________________________________________ telepathy mailing list telepathy@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/telepathy
