-Login, Send a Message, and Disconnect
-=====================================
+Sign in, Send a Message, and Disconnect
+=======================================
+
+.. note::
+
+ If you have any issues working through this quickstart guide
+ or the other tutorials here, please either send a message to the
+ `mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/sleekxmpp-discussion>`_
+ or join the chat room at `sleek@conference.jabber.org
+ <xmpp:sleek@conference.jabber.org?join>`_.
A common use case for SleekXMPP is to send one-off messages from
-time to time.
+time to time. For example, one use case could be sending out a notice when
+a shell script finishes a task.
+
+We will create our one-shot bot based on the pattern explained in :ref:`echobot`. To
+start, we create a client class based on :class:`ClientXMPP <sleekxmpp.clientxmpp.ClientXMPP>` and
+register a handler for the :term:`session_start` event. We will also accept parameters
+for the JID that will receive our message, and the string content of the message.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import sleekxmpp
+
+
+ class SendMsgBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP):
+
+ def __init__(self, jid, password, recipient, msg):
+ super(SendMsgBot, self).__init__(jid, password)
+
+ self.recipient = recipient
+ self.msg = msg
+
+ self.add_event_handler('session_start', self.start)
+
+ def start(self, event):
+ self.send_presence()
+ self.get_roster()
+
+Note that as in :ref:`echobot`, we need to include send an initial presence and request
+the roster. Next, we want to send our message, and to do that we will use :meth:`send_message <sleekxmpp.basexmpp.BaseXMPP.send_message>`.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ def start(self, event):
+ self.send_presence()
+ self.get_roster()
+
+ self.send_message(mto=self.recipient, mbody=self.msg)
+
+Finally, we need to disconnect the client using :meth:`disconnect <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`.
+Now, sent stanzas are placed in a queue to pass them to the send thread. If we were to call
+:meth:`disconnect <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>` without any parameters, then it is possible
+for the client to disconnect before the send queue is processed and the message is actually
+sent on the wire. To ensure that our message is processed, we use
+:meth:`disconnect(wait=True) <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ def start(self, event):
+ self.send_presence()
+ self.get_roster()
+
+ self.send_message(mto=self.recipient, mbody=self.msg)
+
+ self.disconnect(wait=True)
+
+.. warning::
+
+ If you happen to be adding stanzas to the send queue faster than the send thread
+ can process them, then :meth:`disconnect(wait=True) <sleekxmpp.xmlstream.XMLStream.disconnect>`
+ will block and not disconnect.
+
+Final Product
+-------------
+
+.. compound::
+
+ The final step is to create a small runner script for initialising our ``SendMsgBot`` class and adding some
+ basic configuration options. By following the basic boilerplate pattern in :ref:`echobot`, we arrive
+ at the code below. To experiment with this example, you can use:
+
+ .. code-block:: sh
+
+ python send_client.py -d -j oneshot@example.com -t someone@example.net -m "This is a message"
+
+ which will prompt for the password and then log in, send your message, and then disconnect. To test, open
+ your regular IM client with the account you wish to send messages to. When you run the ``send_client.py``
+ example and instruct it to send your IM client account a message, you should receive the message you
+ gave. If the two JIDs you use also have a mutual presence subscription (they're on each other's buddy lists)
+ then you will also see the ``SendMsgBot`` client come online and then go offline.
