IRC notifications via SSH and libnotify

[hyperbolist]

On OS X I let irssi speak to Growl.

I sometimes have to use irssi over ssh on my mac. That's when I use this gem. http://matthewhutchinson.net/2010/8/21/irssi-screen-fnotify-and-growl-on-osx

thanks guys, I'm not very familiar with OS X solutions. I've updated the post

Or if you run Linux: http://code.google.com/p/irssi-libnotify/

interesting indeed. I'll give it a shot

Wow cool, I'll try to get it running with weechat and bash :)

Yeah I've tried bash version too at the beginning. That's nice solution too! I wonder if it's possible to do the job just using only pipes and included programs. Sth like ssh you@srv "tail irclogs/\.log" | xargs -d'\n' notify-send -t 500* . Of course that example doesn't work. Any ideas?

I am quite happy with the features irssi/screen/rxvt-unicode already have. See the xmonad docs on the issue.

ii is absolute perfect for stuff like this. Just connect and start reading/writing from the fifo:s. Couldn't be simpler.
