Notifications when not in focus

[azuriolinist]

Is there some sort of event handler that raises an event when the game outputs something? I'd like to be able to have some sort of sound notification whenever something is happening in the MUD and the client is not in focus, but I can't figure out how to run a script when it does.

I appreciate any help! I'm using Mudlet 3.0.1, under Arch Linux.

Here is what I use; It requires notify-send on linux

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function notify(notify_msg)
  if hasFocus() == false then
   os.execute(string.format("%s", [[notify-send --hint=int:transient:1 --icon="mudlet/mudlet.png" "Mudlet" "]] .. notify_msg .. [["]]))
  end -- if
end -- notify

Thanks for the reply! Sorry, newbie here, but how do I raise that function when something happens in-game? Set up an alias of some sort?
