That should read: [ccL_bash]growl() { echo $'\e]9;'"${@}"$'07'; }[/ccL_bash] Also, be careful about the quotes. I'm not sure exactly why, but some of the quotes in my previous post got transformed to forward and backwards quotes, which will mess with things in the shell. Wow, so I messed that up a little bit.

Bad things happen otherwise; mostly, newlines and tabs become spaces, globs get expanded, etc. Also, what's with using echo -e and $' ' at the same time?

Now, I'm gonna have to figure out how to make growl notifications work for remote jobs. Works great, good tip. Now, I’m gonna have to figure out how to make growl notifications work for remote jobs.
