Running irssi-xmpp: =================== Usage: /LOAD xmpp Simply load the module in irssi. Currently you cannot load it automatically, unless using a script or something like that. The module should be placed in "~/.irssi/modules/", or you should load it with the full path. You can unload it using: /UNLOAD xmpp Connection: =========== Usage: /XMPPCONNECT [-ssl] [-host ] [-port ] [/] The "jid" is your Jabber ID (something like "username@server"). You can add "/" at the end of the "jid" to set your own resource. Please note that irssi-xmpp doesn't support SRV record (yet), so you must specify the host with the parameter "-host". You can also use /XMPPSERVER to replace the current connection. See the FAQ if you want to automatically connect to the server at startup If available, StartTLS will be used by default. Use the "-ssl" switch only if you want to use the deprecated SSL encryption. Automation: =========== If you want to automatically load the module and connect to an account, take a look at the FAQ. Everything is explained in it. Register: ========= You can register an account directly with irssi-xmpp using the command /XMPPREGISTER.
