Shoutbox

So, an example command would be something like:
!status friendEmail@hotmail.com

and the script would return it by email with something like:
friendEmail@hotmail.com is currently Busy

But, I think an easier way would be to just have the script have an option to send out status updates.  There is a command that gets called when a friend changes their status right? I could just have that send out the email with their new status.
