Here's a test script I played with awhile ago to pipe the output of a
program to me over jabber using xmpp4r-simple:

require 'rubygems'
require 'highline'
require 'xmpp4r-simple'

hl = HighLine.new

Username = hl.ask("Username:  ")
Password = hl.ask("Password:  ") { |q| q.echo = "x" }
Notifier = hl.ask("Notifier:  ")

Resource = "notificabot"
Server   = "XXX"

@jabber = { :username => "#{Username}/#{Resource}@#{Server}",
            :password => "#{Password}" }

@notify = "#{Username}@jabber.ctc.com"

begin
  Signal.trap(:INT)  { raise }
  Signal.trap(:TERM) { raise }

  IO.popen(Notifier, "r") do |notifier|
    im = Jabber::Simple.new(@jabber[:username], @jabber[:password])

    begin
      im.status(:dnd, "notificabot")

      notifier.each_line do |line|
        im.deliver(@notify, line.chomp)
        puts line
      end
    rescue
      puts $!.message
    ensure
      im.disconnect
    end
  end
rescue
  puts $!.message
end
