Installation

The master branch always contains the latest tagged release.

# Install the latest version on any platform.
go get -u github.com/variadico/noti/cmd/noti

# Install the latest version on macOS.
brew install noti

If you don't want to build from source or install anything extra, just download the latest binary.

# macOS
curl -L $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/variadico/noti/releases/latest | awk '/browser_download_url/ { print $2 }' | grep 'darwin-amd64' | sed 's/"//g') | tar -xz

# Linux
curl -L $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/variadico/noti/releases/latest | awk '/browser_download_url/ { print $2 }' | grep 'linux-amd64' | sed 's/"//g') | tar -xz

Or download with your browser from the latest release page.

Examples

Just put noti at the beginning or end of your regular commands. For more details, checkout the docs.

Display a notification when tar finishes compressing files.

noti tar -cjf music.tar.bz2 Music/

Add noti after a command, in case you forgot at the beginning.

clang foo.c -Wall -lm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o bizz; noti

If you already started a command, but forgot to use noti, then you can do this to get notified when that process' PID disappears.

noti --pwatch $(pgrep docker-machine)

You can also press ctrl+z after you started a process. This will temporarily suspend the process, but you can resume it with noti.

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=2000
^Z
zsh: suspended  dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=2000
$ fg; noti
[1]  + continued  dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=2000
