Потом вот этот код вставь в файл ~/.mcabber/eventcmd

#!/bin/bash

event=$1
arg1=$2
jid=$3
msg_file=$4
web_browser="firefox"

# Проверка того, стоит ли удалять файл, переданный
# четвертым параметром :-)

# Если пришло входящее сообщение
if [ "$event" = "MSG" -a "$arg1" == "IN" ]; then

Потом выполни следущие команды:

chmod +x ~/.mcabber/eventcmd
mkdir ~/.mcabber/history
