irssi-icon
==========

This small daemon serves two basic functions:
 * Provides a status-bar icon with notification emblems when you have new
   private messages or messages in a channel you have joined.
 * Clicking the icon or calling with --clear will clear notifications.

Installation
============

Install:

    sudo pip install irssi-icon

Execute:

    irssi-icon

For a description of (optional) command-line arguments, see --help.

irssi over SSH
==============

Many people run irssi on an shell server over SSH. Use the --ssh argument
to connect irssi-icon to the remote irssi:

    irssi-icon --ssh user@host

Use the --ssh-key argument to avoid having to type a password on startup.
