Hi Markus, thank you very much for the tip! I like it, is very simple.

However, it's suffering from the same problem I am having with
grep-notify.

The output of sic is being blocked from showing up, if I send :quit all
the output is printed back and the program exits.

  sic -h irc.freenode.net -n badosu |\
  grep -v '< QUIT (\|< JOIN (\|< PART (\|< NICK (' |\
  sed 's|\([^(]badosu\)|\x7\1|'
