Golang + ZeroMQ + libnotify tool to connect to a zmq_notify.rb weechat script

This is ideal for situatishes like screen + weechat is running on a faroff remote host, so a notification plugin for weechat would have no good access to DISPLAY on the local host that you are connecting from. Further, since it is pub/sub, there is no limit to only having a single client being notified.

Install

if you have ZeroMQ v3 installed, run:

go get github.com/vbatts/flaming-happiness/noti

for ZeroMQ v2

go get github.com/vbatts/flaming-happiness/noti2

If you're on Fedora, for dependencies, run:

yum install zeromq3-devel libnotify-devel

Running

First you'll need to add the zmq_notify.rb file to ~/.weechat/ruby/ and load it from weechat (you can symlink it in the ./autoload/ directory to have this script loaded when weechat launches)

/ruby load zmq_notify.rb

Then run noti against your site

noti tcp://example.com:2428

Be sure you've allowed for any firewalling between noti and the zmq_notify

Thanks

To folks that had already supplied the pieces of a simpler enabler like this and to github for the wonky repository name recommendations.
