These hooks are called when global events take place in NeoMutt.
Run a command...
timeout-hook – periodically
startup-hook – when NeoMutt starts up, before opening the first mailbox
shutdown-hook – NeoMutt shuts down, before closing the last mailbox
The commands are NeoMutt commands. If you want to run an external shell command, you need to run them like this:
startup-hook 'echo `action.sh ARGS`'
The single quotes prevent the backticks from being expanded. The
echo command prevents an empty command error.

$timeout seconds.

This feature implements a new hook that is called when NeoMutt first starts up, but before opening the first mailbox. This is most likely to be useful to users of notmuch.
