NOTifications Over SSH

Project description

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.

* http://github.com/guyzmo/irssi-over-ssh-notifications
* http://i.got.nothing.to/post/2010/06/21/On-screen-notifications-from-IRSSI-over-SSH

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
-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 !
