💖 jabberd2-sm — the Jabber IM session manager, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, the manual name is jabberd2-sm and it lives in section 8 (that's the system/admin commands girlies), and it's part of the jabberd project. she's giving session manager, she's giving instant messaging, she's giving everything.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jabberd2-sm [-h] [-c config] [-D]

that's it. three little flags. iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so jabberd2-sm is the one serving up instant messaging services to all the Jabber clients out there. she's the main character of IM, no cap.

she handles literally all the essential instant messaging stuff:

  • rosters 👯
  • presence tracking 👀
  • message distribution 📬
  • subscriptions 🔔

...plus more advanced features on top of that, because she's not just cute, she's capable. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — shows you a lil summary of all the options. a lil menu, a lil snack, a lil treat. 🍓
  • -c — lets you pick an alternate configuration file to use. the compiled-in default is /etc/jabberd2/sm.xml, so if you don't say anything she's just gonna use that one. 🫶
  • -D — prints debugging output. lowkey important caveat tho: you should configure jabberd with the --enable-debug switch to actually enable this. no switch, no debug, bestie. ⚠️
