Cleanup dead irssi windows
Filed under tips & tricks on feb 01, 2010
A quick oneliner to cleanup dead irssi windows (split over multiple lines to aid readability):
/script exec foreach $w (sort {$b->{refnum} <=> $a->{refnum}} Irssi::windows()) {
if ((!$w->items()) && !($w->{refnum} == 1)) {
Irssi::print("window closing " . $w->{refnum});
Irssi::command("window goto $w->{refnum}");
Irssi::command("window close");
}
}
Please keep in mind that:
application windows will be closed (like twirssi‘s status, etc)
- hint: /window immortal ON
dead queries will be closed
you should also take a look at /set query_auto_close <SECONDS>
- hint: /set query_auto_close 86400 to close a query after a day of inactivity
Some quick tips:
use /layout save if you are happy, it makes irssi store your current layout
use /foreach query /unquery to close all queries
- NB: Habbie reported that this might crash irssi if you have lots of open queries
use /set reuse_unused_windows ON to “recycle” windows after they are dead
