  </li>

<p>Here I choose to be notified by message sent from jabber server from my account to my account.<br />
Prerequisite : sendxmpp installed : apt-get install sendxmpp</p>

<blockquote>echo "==== svn updated cf. $logFile ====" | sendxmpp mabrouk@openfire.witr.net  
cat $logFile | sendxmpp mabrouk@openfire.witr.net

<p>Finally, schedule the script in your crontab (executed each minute recommanded)</p>
