Command line clients seem not to work

I have tried two different python tools for sending messages and of course, Perl XMPP. None of them work (even when run from the local host) and fail for various reasons (though all work with other Jabber servers). Is there a simple command line tool so I can send alerts to certain jabber accounts?

if youre not afraid of programming 5 to 10 lines java source you can build your own tool using smack … all you need is a very basic java koledge and the documentation for smack (there are examples included, that cover your needs)
