irssi-libnotify

===============

Uses `notify-send(1)` to alert you when someone is talking to you in irssi.

Description

-----------

This IRSSI script hooks itself into all private messages and channel text.

When someone sends a private message to you, or when someone says something in

a channel that triggers your highlighting rules, then this script forwards

that text to libnotify by shelling out to `notify-send(1)`, a binary shipped

with `libnotify`.  The notification is sent with category `im.received`.

Installing

----------

These instructions are for Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives.

    # Prerequisite: must have irssi and libnotify-bin

    sudo apt-get install irssi libnotify-bin

    # Install the script where irssi can find it

    mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun

    cp -t ~/.irssi/scripts libnotify.pl

    # OPTIONAL: Load the script automatically on startup.  If you don't do

    # this, you'll need to run "/SCRIPT LOAD libnotify" by hand each time you

    # restart your irssi client.

    ln -st ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun ../libnotify.pl
