Irssi is de facto standard terminal based irc client. Out of curiosity what makes it so cool?

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

That is actually ssh connection to server running irssi in screen :) I've been doing this with N810 and continue to do so with N900.

Ssh client is available for Maemo 5 but irssi isn't yet. At least I coudn't find it. I hope that someone make irssi available for Maemo 5 too. It's the irc client for me.

you can just do anything you like with it! its to IRC what mutt is to email, what centerIM is for IM. perl scripting, multiple windows, bouncing, colours and text style and so on. if you like to work in text-only mode this is your choice for IRC.
the settings you see in the pic are quiet easy!
from top to bottom
channel topic
statusbar with [current channel][nick][activity][dontknow maybe channels]
channel
textinput

the last line is not a typical irssi statusline, as far as I see its a screen statusbar (could be part of irssi but I doubt it)
means: irssi is actualy not running at the n900!
he ssh'ed to another machine were he uses "screen" (another powerfull console tool) to have multiple shells and in one of those is irssi running

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

You are supposed to keep your GNU/Linux equipped server (or desktop) on 24/7 and have it running a SSH server and Irssi in a program called screen. Forward port 22 on your router to the correct IP and they you can simply type

Quote:

ssh ip_address_here

on any Linux terminal to continue your IRC session. For windows you'll need a client called PuTTY.

it can't be cool because it is so easy to use that kids can learn it in couple of hours.

ircII is much better :D

ah ok ircII looks pretty unsupported, last release with lastyears code, that the current build shows todays date could be due to auto building... to be cool you telnet your irc msgs!

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

The incredible power of SSH, screen and irssi lets me continue my IRC sessions even on my S60 phone.

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

That was my screenshot. I was sshed from the n900 into my 24x7 server that has a screen session with the irssi IRC client in it. The status bar along the bottom is a custom thing set up for screen that has little text widgets to tell me, things like whether I have new email and, when someone talks to me in IRC.

I think even if irssi were ported to the n900 I'd still connect to the same remote session like I do with all of my other computers.

btw my statuslines all look something like this but colours are different on each server

Code:

hardstatus alwayslastline "%{ck}%?%-w%?[%n*%f %t]%?%+Lw%?%=| %{..W}[%l] %{..G}%2`@%H %{..Y} %D %d/%m/%Y %c"

Code:

$bash | $load $user@$host $DOW $date $time

Code:

$bash | $load $user@$host $DOW $date $time

Here's my hardstatus string:

Code:

hardstatus string '%{= w}%Y-%m-%d %c:%s%{= w}|%= |%{+b r}%101`%{-}|%{+b g}%103`%{-}|%{+b b}%105`%{-}|%{= y}%107`%{= w}'

The %101`, %102`, etc. correspond to the "backtick" parameter in the screenrc. You can basically plug in a script that executes and its output will be put in place of those operators. For instance, the mail script is referenced in screenrc like so:

Code:

backtick 105 60 60 /path/to/custom/fetchmail.pl

That fetchmail.pl is a short script I wrote that runs fetchmail -c, parses it, and outputs folders with new mail. It's short enough I'll paste it here:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl



open FETCHMAIL, "/usr/bin/fetchmail -t 10 -c 2>/dev/null |" or die "Can't run fetchmail: $!\n";



while(<FETCHMAIL>){

   if(/^(\d+) messages \((\d+) seen.*?folder (.*?)\)/){

      $m+=$1; $s+=$2; $f=$3;

      $f =~ s/INBOX\.//;  #my IMAP server adds INBOX in front of each folder

   }

   if($1 > $2){

      $fs{$f} = $1 - $2;

   }

}

close FETCHMAIL;

$t = $m - $s;



if($t > 0){

   foreach $folder (sort { $fs{$a}<=>$fs{$b} } keys %fs){

      push @folders, "$folder:$fs{$folder}";

   }

}

print join " ", @folders;

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

thanks, I am not into perl that much but this does download the folders local and looks up if the count of msgs changed to a higher number as it been before?

The -c argument to fetchmail tells it to just show you your folder status but it doesn't download anything. You, of course, need to have fetchmail already configured to connect to your remote IMAP server.

Re: what is this app runing on terminal?

never used fetchmail, was just looking into man pages ;) how does the irssi highlight light up your statusbar (thats even more interesting, would write plugins if I learn perl some time...)

You can probably run a local version of irssi on your N900 with Easy Debian. I'm not going to bother trying, however...

shouldnt be a problem to port irssi to maemo5 as there is a earlier port and also debian is available for arm...
