poll-cop

poll-cop is an osx utility for receiving notifications that a process has completed execution AFTER the process has already begun.

Usage

If after starting a process, such as sudo make install, and letting it run for a bit, you realize the process may take longer than you expected to finish, all you have to do in order to recieve a notification on its completion is (in fish)

> sudo make install
(CTRL-Z)
> echo %
12345
> watch 12345
> fg

And once sudo make install, or whatever you happen to running, completes you will recieve a native notification on your screen so you don't have to keep checking the terminal.
