Simple script for irssi to trigger Mac OS X 10.8's Notification Center

Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.8 or higher
• terminal-notifier

Installation

Place notifier.pl in ~/.irssi/scripts/.

/script load notifier.pl

Configuration

/SET notifier_on_regex [regex]
/SET notifier_channel_regex [regex]
/SET notifier_on_privmsg <0|1>

Usage

notifier on mynickname

/SET notifier_on_regex mynickname

notifier on everything

/SET notifier_on_regex .*

everything but jdewey

/SET notifier_on_regex (?=^(?:(?!jdewey).)*$).*

only notifier things for mychannel1 and mychannel2

/SET notifier_channel_regex (mychannel1|mychannel2)

by default we don't send notifications for privmsgs you can enable this by setting this flag to 1

/SET notifier_on_privmsg 1 

Didn't irssi-growl let me choose an icon?

Yes, it did and still does, that is if you choose to use growl. But Mountain Lion's Notification Center doesn't let you specify a custom icon for a notification. To quote terminal-notifier's repository:

The Notification Center always uses the application’s own icon, there’s currently no way to specify a custom icon for a notification. The only way to use this tool with your own icon is to include a build of terminal-notifier with your icon instead.

I will keep track of terminal-notifier's commits and if someone does find a way to specify an icon I will update this script as soon as possible.
