Output to a file
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:42 am
I am looking for a way to output various events to a file that would be readable by a desktop widget I have running on my system so I can be updated on what's going on with Messenger.
I'm running the script through Wine on a Linux system and it runs beautifully except for a few small things. I run my mIRC client in compact mode and almost always have the main window minimized to the notification area, which means that I don't always get notified when someone has messaged me. I would like to have the MSN script output to a text file whenever I am messaged so that I can scan that file with one of my widgets to alert me to new messages that I can't see in the background.
I took a quick look through the msn.mrc file and couldn't immediately find the best place to be able to add such a thing. Is there any options to facilitate this sort of thing, and if not would you be able to point me in the right direction?
