Colloquy IRC client allows executing Terminal scripts and commands while displaying their output in real-time.
I recently tried out CollExec, a free Terminal pipe script that allows users to see the results of Terminal scripts within Colloquy. Although it is currently a basic program, I found that it was easy to use and helpful for my needs.
CollExec offers two usage options for executing scripts: "/exec" and "/pexec". The former displays the script results only to the user, for safety reasons. The latter allows for public execution by showing the results to the currently active channel. As an example, I used "/exec uname -a" to view information about my current machine.
However, it's important to note that there are a few warnings that should be kept in mind before using CollExec. First, users must avoid running scripts that may not terminate, such as "ping". Doing so risks force quitting Colloquy and potentially getting banned from the server if a public execution was attempted. Second, users need to avoid spamming chat rooms, as this can also lead to getting banned from the server if a public execution was attempted. If there is a need to execute a script that might reveal sensitive information like passwords, the "/exec" option should be used instead.
Overall, CollExec is a helpful program for executing Terminal scripts within Colloquy. With its user-friendly interface and free price tag, I would recommend trying it out for those interested in this type of functionality.
