User-side plugins cannot feasibly* do things of that nature. For that sort of thing, it has to be on the server side, which means even if you found an appropriate addon it would have to be investigated and added by Rawhide.

* The only way a user-side plugin could do these things is by regularly polling the server and analyzing the return, which would add a lot of server load in addition to being difficult to properly implement.
