I have finished the first version of my TclSigX client, and it can now be downloaded from:
EDIT: see next post
TclSigX is designed to be more easily customized than the Perl SigX script but still be hackable (read the comments that start with "Hack Note:" in the TclSigX source find some info on how to do this).
to install TclSigX, make sure you have Tcl installed, extract the TclSigX program to whereever you want (your home directory is an alright place), configure (edit TclSigX in a text editor) and setup a cron job just like you would with the Perl script.
note that the password is stored in a weak encrytion. it is stored all backwords except for the first and last characters (eg "password" becomes "prowssad").
Some plans for the future:
* Have TclSigX split up into several files, redistrobute the development versions in only the split version and the stable versions in both split and single file versions. This will start next version.
* a readme file, probaly in the next version
* Plug-ins. I got this idea from SigX.NET. this wouldnt be such a hard thing to do, but the single file version might be a problem. i might even get this to work with other scripted langauges like Perl, Python and Ruby (btw those SigX.NET screenshots look pretty cool rick

)
* Support more programs when getting status info
* Impliment better ways of getting XMMS info (and other music apps too)
* TkSigX, a frontend to TclSigX. this is a long way off, if it even does happen.
Btw, any feedback from users would be great.
