Recent versions of iTerm support Growl notifications. iTerm shows how to initiate Growl events from the command line with:
make; echo $'\e]9;make done\007'
The example shows how to get an alert after a long make. I know I would never remember that command so I wrote a little Bash user defined function to do the same. Add this to your .bashrc file:
growl() { echo -e $'\e]9;'${1}'\007' ; return ; }
Now the command to initiate a notification would be:
make; growl "make done"
