growlnotify
growlnotify is a command-line tool to post Growl notifications.
I’m not a big fan of notifications, but growlnotify comes in handy if you’re running a shell script on your Mac that will take a while to run, and don’t want to babysit it.
For example, the script that deploys my jekyll-powered weblog includes the following:
growlnotify Weblog Update Complete -m "jekyll, git and rsync have done their stuff"
