Comments on: Sending Notifications from mIRC to Growl http://geekologist.net/2009/04/sending-notifications-from-mirc-to-growl/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 16 May 2010 23:12:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Tyler http://geekologist.net/2009/04/sending-notifications-from-mirc-to-growl/comment-page-1/#comment-296 Tyler Sun, 16 May 2010 23:12:56 +0000 http://geekologist.net/?p=893#comment-296 This is just what I am looking for. It would be awesome if I could get it to work, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I have narrowed down the issue though if you would be able to assist I would really appreciate it. It is not an issue with the script, it is an issue with plink connecting to the ssh server on my mac. When I type this: C:\>plink -ssh 192.168.1.100 -l Username -pw password /Users/username/growlnotify test It just sits there with a blinking cursor. If however, after waiting for a couple of seconds, I press CTRL-C to stop the task, the growl notification pops up. Very strange. So I can get it to work, but only if I press CTRL-C to stop the task after a couple of seconds, which obviously does me no good for notifying me of IRC PMs. Please send an email if you are willing to help, as I said I would greatly appreciate it.

I guess I can see that. Personally I'm using the terminal irc client irssi which doesn't give me a lot of options for growl notifications. I'm a mIRC user from way back in the day. I remember using Trumpet Winsock on a SLIP connection back in 95ish. You’re not a fan of Colloquy? I guess I can see that.
