I, like many others besides myself often find myself kicking off a process in the shell that takes a minute or two to complete (a large svn commit for example). During that time, I often alt-tab and refresh reddit/slashdot/wikipedia/whatever. It would be great to have something set up that posts a growl notification when the shell process is over.
In my ideal world, it would work like this: "If a process just exited from a tab open in Terminal, post a growl notification."
Anyone else have something like this set up?
1Note that growl will only notify you if you are still sitting at the screen. For longer programs, use the "say" command to get an audio hint that it is finished. – None – 2010-11-02T19:55:03.337
@mankoff: You can configure the
growlnotify
application notification settings inGrowl.prefPane
to include an audio notification sound. It's not, however, changeable depending on the command you execute, likesay
would be. But it's way less creepy. – Daniel Beck – 2010-11-02T20:04:51.877
