hilightcmd.pl

#
# Call a custom system command when receiving a hilight.
# Originally based on hilightwin.pl work and djcraven5's idea for making remote
# computer beep through ssh.
#
# Example of use, assuming you have ssh and beep on your remote:
#   /set hilightcmd_systemcmd ssh user@host beep &
#
# The hilighted text may be passed as a quoted string:
#   /set hilightcmd_systemcmd printf "%s\n" %(message)s >> ~/hilights
#
