mcabbernotify.py

******************

******************

SETTING UP EVENTS COMMAND

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

In order for mcabbernotify.py to read anything, you will need to set the following

options in your mcabberrc file that you use:

	set events_command = ~/.mcabber/eventcmd

	set events_ignore_active_window = 1

	set eventcmd_use_nickname = 1

Then you'll want to move the "eventcmd" in this directory into ~/.mcabber and make sure it is executable

SPECIAL NOTES FOR MAC USERS

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

To use mcabbernotify on Mac OS X, you should install the "growlnotify" extra (it's a command-line

interface to Growl). You can install this by running "install.sh" in the Extras/growlnotify/ 

directory in the download. 

USING IT LOCALLY

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

If you use mcabber on your local machine, you will simply need to run:

	tail -F ~/.mcabber/last_event | path/to/mcabbernotify.py

USING IT REMOTELY

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

In the situation where you run mcabber remotely, and want notifications locally, you can use the following command:

	ssh hostname -C "tail -F ~/.mcabber/last_event" | path/to/mcabbernotify.py
