Tmux notify when someone write me on Irssi

irssinotificationstmux

I'm successfully using Irssi inside tmux to manage my chats. I've also tried the great tmux-powerline, which seems really full-featured.

Now, I'm wondering if there is a method to make tmux notify me when someone sends me a message in the Irssi window in tmux.

I wrote an irssi plugin called hilightnotify.pl.

The script runs a configurable command when hilight status is set/removed within irssi. I use it to execute a blinking tray icon when my name is mentioned and kill the icon when hilight status is removed (meaning that I have noted the message), as described in the linked article and the script itself, but one can run what one wants. If the tmux function you are after supports a CLI trigger, it is probably trivially adaptable to your situation.
