Description
Presently, Smuxi has a mechanism for issuing commands on connection to an IRC server. This command list might look like this:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY ... /join #foo /join #bar
These commands are sent in sequence to the IRC server on connect, and no command blocks.
However, sometimes one needs to wait for a command to complete before sending another command. Some IRC bots, for example, will only accept messages from you if you're already in the channel. If you try to do this with Smuxi's on-connect mechanism, i.e.
/join #channel /msg ChannelBot do_something
it likely won't work, because the /msg is sent before the /join completes.
One way to tackle this is to issue commands in response to events. Mirco Bauer suggested something like this:
/on open_chat #channel /msg ChannelBot do_something /join #channel

There are 2 solutions for this already in Smuxi:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY ... /sleep 3000 /join #foo
Or with Smuxi 0.10 by writing a hook which waits for the NickServ confirmation message and then sends the join commands, see https://smuxi.im/documentation/hooks/
