The notifications script for Irssi uses desktop notifications to inform the user about incoming messages.
IMPORTANT: A working installation of the Net::DBus module for Perl is required for this script to function. In Fedora, this module is provided by the perl-Net-DBus package. In Debian and Ubuntu, the package is named libnet-dbus-perl.
Irssi looks for additional scrips in the in the ~/.irssi/scripts/ directory. To make sure that this directory exists, type the following at a shell prompt:
install -d ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/
To install the notifications script, change to the directory with your local copy of the repository and type:
cp notifications.pl ~/.irssi/scripts/
This copies the notifications.pl file to the ~/.irssi/scripts/ directory. You can also configure Irssi to load the script automatically at startup. To do so, create a symbolic link to that file in the ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ directory:
ln -s ~/.irssi/scripts/{,autorun/}notifications.pl
The script is loaded the next time you start the client.
To load the notifications script in Irssi, run the following Irssi command:
/script load notifications
To unload the notifications script from Irssi, run the following Irssi command:
/script unload notifications
The notifications script provides a number of boolean variables that allow you to enable or disable certain behavior. To change the value of any of these variables, run the following Irssi command:
/set <variable_name> ON|OFF
The available variables are as follows:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
notifications_private_messages |
Enables notifications for private messages. The default value is ON. |
notifications_public_messages |
Enables notifications for messages in an IRC channel. The default value is ON. |
notifications_indirect_messages |
Enables notifications for messages that mention the user only indirectly. The default value is OFF. |
notifications_active_window |
Enables notifications for messages in an active window. The default value is OFF. |
notifications_dcc_messages |
