Remote notify is a plugin for weechat and irssi that will send an HTTP request to a specific host on a specific port whenever your nick is mentioned.
When the python script is invoked on the shell it will act as a webserver that can recieve requests and display growl/notify-osd alerts based on those requests.
On the remote machine running your irc client:
- Enable the plugin:
/python load remote-notify.py
/run remote-notify.pl
On the machine you are connecting from, start the service.
~$ ./remote-notify.py
This starts the web service listening on localhost
Then, ssh to the host running weechat and forward the port
~$ ssh -R 4235:localhost:4235 user@host
