Set HipChat Away /w AppleScript
Inspired by http://ertw.com/blog/2012/05/02/controlling-hipchat-status-through-applescript/
It needed some minor tweaking to make work:
#!/bin/zsh
STATUS=$1
if [ -z $STATUS ]; then
STATUS="Available"
fi
TMPF=/tmp/ascript
cat > $TMPF <<-EOF
tell application "System Events" to tell UI element "HipChat Mac" of list 1 of process "Dock"
perform action "AXShowMenu"
delay 0.5
click menu item "Status" of menu 1
click menu item "$STATUS" of menu 1 of menu item "Status" of menu 1
end tell
EOF
osascript $TMPF
It is limited, but better than nothing. The status must match EXACTLY the menu text if you right click on the HipChat icon on the dock. So.. no custom status messages, but better than nothing. Combined with ControlPlane I keep my team up to date.

Wanted something a little more, so hacked this together:
set cmd to "away"
tell application "HipChat"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "HipChat"
set window_name to name of window 1
end tell
if window_name = "HipChat - Lobby" then
tell process "HipChat"
set tab_name to name of UI element 1 of row 2 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
end tell
keystroke "t" using command down
keystroke tab_name
keystroke return
end if
keystroke "/" & cmd
keystroke return
keystroke tab using command down
end tell
end tell
You can actually pass messages as well if you really wanted to (set cmd to "away food"
)
