One full working example would be great about terminal-notifier HOT 5 CLOSED

Yeah I should add one. In the meantime, there are many articles all over the web that explain it in more detail, for instance: http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/03/send-an-alert-to-notification-center-from-the-command-line-in-os-x/.

from terminal-notifier.

I just found this myself.

Once I typed in the the gem command, then I was able to get it working. Admittedly, I'm not that familiar with gems, so I'm about to become so.

Thanks again,
Denis

Simple example for use in Terminal or in a shell script, assuming that terminal-notifier is either in /Applications, ~/Applications, or in a folder in your $PATH:

open -a terminal-notifier --args -message "Hello, world." -title "Some App"

Note: While the open -a approach is simpler than calling the executable inside the bundle, its potential downside is that you get no stdout or stderr output. Still, if you know the syntax already, this can be handy - I suggest adding this information to the read-me.

Here's a wrapper shell script - save, for instance, as notify and make executable - that assumes that the application is either in /Applications, or ~/Applications, or in the same folder as the script itself. Since the script calls the actual executable inside the application bundle, you do get stdout and stderr output, including command-line help.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

APP_NAME='terminal-notifier'
thisFolder=$(dirname "$BASH_SOURCE")

found=0
for exe in {/Applications,~/Applications,"$thisFolder"}"/${APP_NAME}.app/Contents/MacOS/$APP_NAME"; do
    [[ -f "$exe" ]] && { found=1; break; }
done

(( found )) || { echo "ERROR: Cannot locate required application '$APP_NAME'" 1>&2; exit 1; }

    # Invoke executable, passing all arguments through.
"$exe" "$@"

(As of 1.4.2) Note that while -h and --help do work for printing usage information, that appears to be an accident - usage information is printed whenever an unknown option is encountered, and these two happen to be just that.

I've made use of it in an AppleScript wrapper for rsync http://adis.ca/post/applescript-rsync/

I’ve added a few examples to the REAME. Thanks.
