Cheat Sheet Title: [ no_spaces_alphanumeric_only ]

Cheat Sheet:
Some quick & dirty notifications (for OS X): For more info: http://www.elctech.com/2007/12/21/notify-me-when-done $ cmd; say "Don't care how it finished, but it did" $ cmd && say "Success!" $ (cmd && say "Success") || say "Failed" Example: $ mysql app_dev < dump.sql && say "Finished importing" Quicksilver: $ cmd; osascript -e 'tell application "Quicksilver" to show large type "Finished!"' Growl: $ cmd; growlnotify -s -m "Done" Note: If you are using Leopard, there's a bug with growlnotify as of version 1.1.2 (*fixed in 1.1.3) that prevents growlnotify from working consistently. However, there's an easy workaround. * Open up the Growl preference pane and select the Network tab. * Click to enable "Listen for incoming notifications". * Now when you run growlnotify, add the "-H localhost" option. $ cmd && growlnotify -s -H localhost -m "Success" If you are using wmii, you can have it change your tag when it is done $ cmd && wmiir xwrite /lbar/tagname "*tagname"

Your cheat sheet will be editable (fixable) by anyone. Each cheat sheet is essentially a wiki page. It may also be used by millions of people for reference purposes from the comfort of their command line. If this is okay with you, please save.
