Jabber client which only do notify with Growl (requires 1.8.*)

gistfile1.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'pit'
require 'xmpp4r-simple'

def notify(title, msg='')
  system("growlnotify '#{title}' -m '#{msg}'")
end

config = Pit.get('jabber', :require => {
  'username' => 'Username of jabber account',
  'password' => 'Password of jabber account',
})

im = Jabber::Simple.new(config['username'], config['password'])

Thread.start do
  loop do
    im.received_messages do |msg|
      notify msg.from, msg.body
    end
    sleep 1
  end
end

sleep

you have a syntax error on line 4. it should read:

require 'pit'
