Based on this blog:
http://blog.thecybershadow.net/2010/05/08/setting-shared-google-talk-gmail-status-programmatically/
I made a script (gstatus-fortune.sh) to automate the gmail status change with “fortune” sentences:
/home/giovanni/mine/gstatus/gstatus.py default “$(/usr/games/fortune -s)”
and configured the crontab:
0 * * * * /home/giovanni/mine/gstatus/gstatus-fortune.sh
