WHATEVER

that code is a quick and dirty hack to get notifications over ssh from my server running irssi to my workstation. Aimed to be extended with other notification systems.

for original notify.pl code :

http://lewk.org/log/code/irssi-notify

INSTALL

REMOTE SHELL running ERC

TODO by someone who uses ERC!

REMOTE SHELL running IRSSI

1/ copy 'notify.pl' to your ~/.irssi/scripts folder i.e. scp notify.pl REMOTE:.irssi/scripts 2/ do '/load perl' and '/script load notify.pl' in irssi - TIP: Add it to your irssi conf to auto load 3/ Ensure SSH allows remote tunnels - i.e. GatewayPorts yes 4/ configure the 'highlights' in your client. (if you don't know how RTFM !) - /hilight -regex bla|bla

Local SSH Client

1/ install the local service either by doing: 1.1/ pip install notossh 1.2/ python setup.py install 4/ configure how you want to instance it 4.1/ configure your ssh client to run it (see below) 4.2/ make your own script (or launch it manually) : notossh start 4.3/ to end the service run : notossh stop 6/ if you don't like it as is... HACK IT !

OPTIONS

usage: irssi-notify-listener.py [-h] [-f] [-S] [-V] [-H HOST] [-P PORT]
                                [-G GROWL] [-N NOTIFY]
                                {start,stop} ...

IRSSI Notify Listener

positional arguments:
{start,stop}
    start               Starts the service
    stop                Stops the service

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-f, --foreground      Make the notifications stick
-S, --sticky          Make the notifications stick
-V, --verbose         Make the listener verbose
-H HOST, --host HOST  Host to listen on
-P PORT, --port PORT  Port to listen on
-G GROWL, --with-growl GROWL
                        Path to growl executable
-T NOTIFIER, --with-notifier NOTIFIER
                        Path to terminal-notifier executable
-N NOTIFY, --with-notify NOTIFY
                        Path to notify executable

CONFIGURATION

add to your .ssh/config those lines, where HOST is the host and port the PORT you want to connect to :

Host HOST
PermitLocalCommand yes
LocalCommand /path/to/bin/notossh start
RemoteForward PORT localhost:PORT

NOTIFICATIONS

to change the way notifications behaves, like on Fedora systems, you can change the notification line to the following, making it transient :

return [args.notify, '--hint', 'int:transient:1', '-i', 'dialog-information', '-t', '5000', ':'.join(args[1:]), args[0]]

TODO

enable passing through the arguments after -- to the notification service

LICENCES

Since 2010, that code is aimed to be hacked. Thanks to Charles doublerebel Philips, Rui Abreu Ferreira and Cooper Ry Lees for their hacks!

notify.pl is under GPL (because I copy/pasted it from Luke Macken and Paul W. Frields)

everything else is WTFPL (because I don't care what you do with it, but if you don't tell me you've improved it it, you're just a moron)

And if you like it, buy me a beer !
