A Unix shell script to work with Growl |
|
|
I have written a Unix shell script to call Growl -- here's the source. My script is named growl, and I keep a copy in $HOME/bin. I generally use my Growl script to notify me when a long-running Unix script finishes. If you are imaginative, you could have a cron job that calls Growl when disk space is low:
#!/bin/sh
df -m / | awk '
/Filesystem/ { next }
200 > $4 { system("growl root only has " $4 "MB available") }
'
Or if a critical system has gone off-line:
#!/bin/sh
if ! ping -c 1 -t 10 critical.system.com; then
growl critical.system.com is off-line
fi
One last example ... if some remote site is off-line, you could have a script that Growls when the site is back on-line:
#!/bin/sh
while ! ping -c 1 -t 2 remote.site.com
do
sleep 60
done
growl remote.site.c...
