Hi all. This isn't necessarily exclusively a JavaScript question, but it willãat least partially involve JavaScript.ãI previously wrote a remote sysop pager notification system & I think it shouldãbe updated. It originally consisted of a JavaScript that would send aãnotification to Growl on a Windows system. Growl for Windows is no longerãbeing developed, so I feel I should at least update it to send the notificationãto Snarl.ãI wanted to gauge how everyone felt about this sort of "collection of toolsãworking together" type of mentality before I start working on it, though. Isãthis ok, or would more sysops prefer a regular "Windows app" with an installer?ãPart of the thinking with using Snarl or some other true "notification" app, isãthat it already has built-in support for multiple notification options,ãincluding forwarding them to a smart phone. It's highly unlikely that I couldãsupport my own notification system that would provide as many options.ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Silent Strike - bbs.thesilentstrike.comã

If it does what you need it to do, there's no need to roll yourãown. I can't remember if it (or its presumed successor, "Snarl") lets you addãbuttons to a notification; would be nice if you could trigger something thatãpulls the user into chat when the sysop accepts the page.ããFWIW I made a chat pager thing, but at present it's only really useful ifãyou're normally on IRC. This is in Synchronet's CVS repository, atã'xtrn/chat_pager/'. Let your IRC client send you the notification; tell theãIRC bot to answer the page, and it will pull the user into your channel via theãBBS' IRC client. This has the benefit of letting you respond to a page fromãany device, rather than using the built-in sysop chat thing on the machineãthat's hosting the BBS.ãã---ãechickenãelectronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.com - 416-273-7230ã þ Synchronet þ electronic chicken bbs - bbs.electronicchicken.comã
