# Orginal idea from:
# Command-line Growl Notifications - O'Reilly ONLamp Blog
# http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2005/06/commandline_growl_notification.html
#
# Usage: specify "growlexec" before any command-line command and receive a
# success or failure growl notification upon exit.
#
# Install: Requires growlnotify extra, available in the growl package (dmg).
# In growl, I use the "music video" display for the growlnotifer.
