Sample send IM script?

[Parand Darugar]

Alrighty, now I'm having trouble with purple-remote. I'm logged in
with nullclient, confirmed that D-Bus is working via the attached
script which responds to any IMs sent to it. So the environment should
be good to go.

According the purple-remote help message, the format I'm looking for is:
jabber:goim?screenname=testone at localhost&message=hi

So I tried:
purple-remote 'aim:goim?screenname=tdarugar&message=mooo'

and I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/purple-remote", line 211, in ?
    output = execute(arg)
  File "/usr/local/bin/purple-remote", line 112, in execute
    account = findaccount(accountname, protocol)
  File "/usr/local/bin/purple-remote", line 88, in findaccount
    account = cpurple.PurpleAccountsFindAny(accountname, protocolname)
  File "/usr/local/bin/purple-remote", line 30, in __call__
    raise "Error: " + self.attr + " " + str(args) + " returned " + str(result)
Error: PurpleAccountsFindAny ('', 'prpl-aim') returned 0

Looks like it's looking for a parameter called 'account', so I tried:
purple-remote 'yahoo:goim?account=tdarugar&screenname=tdarugar&message=mooo'
...
  File "/usr/local/bin/purple-remote", line 30, in __call__
    raise "Error: " + self.attr + " " + str(args) + " returned " + str(result)
Error: PurpleAccountsFindAny ('tdarugar', 'prpl-yahoo') returned 0

The environment is:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.17-10-server (VMWare image, 6.10)
Pidgin 2.0.2, compiled from source

What am I doing wrong?

Best,

Parand
