notifyme Growl Network Notifier
I’ve been running a lot of time-consuming scripts recently, so I wrote a perl script, notifyme, to notify me via Growl when a given command has completed. I’ve put it in my ~/bin so i can call it from anywhere.
Example: I’m running a batch NCBI Blast and want a sticky bubble to appear:
notifyme -s True --run "blastcl3 -p blastp -d nr -i Conserved.fa -e "1e-10" -o Results.nr.1e-10.blast -m7"
There are more options, though I’d recommend just setting defaults. It’s really quite simple, just take a look at the source.
