Growl developer documentation

About

gNotify is an example script that uses GrowlNotifier to send Growl notifications from the command-line. It is basically a Python version of growlnotify.

Usage

gNotify takes the following arguments:

-h, --help

Display the help and exit

-n, --name

Set the application name

-i, --icon

Specify a filetype or extension to be used for the icon

-I, --iconpath

Specify a filepath to be used for the icon

-t, --title

Set the title for the notification

-m, --message

Set the message for the notification

If -n is omitted, it defaults to 'gNotify'.

If -i and -I are omitted, the icon is defaulted to an unknown-file icon. -I overrides -i.

If -t is omitted, it defaults to 'gNotify'.

If '-' is passed as the value for -m, gNotify will read from standard input, displaying a new notification for each line.
