HipCat is a simple commandline utility to post snippets to HipChat.
go get github.com/samdfonseca/hipcatGenerate a personal access token for HipCat: https://hipchat.com/account/api
Create a HipCat config file:
echo "auth_token = <your-hipchat-token>" >> ~/.hipcatSet a default room to send to:
echo "default_room_name = Notification Room" >> ~/.hipcat
OR
echo "default_room_id = 1234567" >> ~/.hipcat(Room ID is slightly faster since it saves one request to the HipChat API to lookup the room id)
Pipe command output as a message or several messages to the default room:
$ tail -F -n0 /path/to/log | hipcat --tee --stream
hipcat file hello uploaded to Notification RoomPipe command output as a message or several messages to some other room:
$ tail -F -n0 /path/to/log | hipcat --stream -r "Notification Room"
hipcat starting stream

$ hipcat --room "Entire Company" /home/user/bot.png
