Syncronize iChat statuses of different users?

[Giaguara]

How can I synchronize teh iChat statuses of different users?
What I want is to find a way to be able to have different users (and in different countries too) to have the exact same status automatically - thus one of them changing the status to any personalized status, teh other(s) would change to that too. And vice versa.

I imagine Applescript .. with iChatStatus would work? But how to syncronize? Do both / all users involved need to be bound to IP or ..?

If the information is available on a commonly available location (web site ?), then it should be possible to do something similar to iChatStatus.

well, suppose both have a static ip?

Probably only one is needed as reference, there is no use to have two references.

On the reference one should place the data to be displayed in a fixed place. The other would take it and push it to iChatStatus.

Can iChatStatus do such an action automaticaly ?

A script like this on (copied from iChatStatus) should do it, if one can replace the call for the application list to a call to a text file on a web server.

--Active app shows the current app. If the current application is the screen saver, status will also be set to away.

tell application "System Events"
set appName to name of item 1 of (application processes whose frontmost is true)
if appName is "ScreenSaverEngine" then
set appName to "(#)" & "Screen Saver"
end if
return appName
end tell
