A quick attempt to automate opening up a tmux session with Irssi and its nicklist.pl running.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# This should work whether you are already in a TMUX session or not...
# Irssi directory is assumed to be in the user's home dir
if [ -z "$TMUX" ]
then
tmux new-session -d -s ircuser
tmux split-window -tircuser -h -l20
tmux send-keys -tircuser "tmux send-keys -t0 \"irssi\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/set nicklist_height \$(stty size | cut -f1 -d' ' -)\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/set nicklist_width \$(stty size | cut -f2 -d' ' -)\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t1 \"cat ~/.irssi/nicklistfifo\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/nicklist fifo\" C-m; \
tmux select-pane -t0" C-m
tmux attach-session -t ircuser
else
tmux split-window -h -l20
tmux send-keys -t1 "tmux send-keys -t0 \"irssi\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/set nicklist_height \$(stty size | cut -f1 -d' ' -)\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/set nicklist_width \$(stty size | cut -f2 -d' ' -)\" C-m; \
tmux send-keys -t0 \"/nicklist fifo\" C-m; \
cat ~/.irssi/nicklistfifo" C-m

UPDATE: it seems like there's a lot of confusion about this, so I updated it to automatically detect if it's in a TMUX session and act accordingly.
