I have been eagerly anticipating the next release of Growl in hopes that the problem with growlnotify not working from shell scripts or cron properly would be addressed.
There was a posting about this having been fixed around subversion revsion 1836. I have tried checking out the nightly and building in on my machine. Once I got XCode updated to 1.5 I was able to build the two tagrets required. However, after building the framework target I don't see it in the resulting build folder.
So I was pleased to see a new general release this morning when I check the site. My joy was short lived however as it appears that the fix to growlnotify didn't make it into 0.6.2.
How do I get growlnotify to work from cron (or shell scripts)?
TIA

Growlnotify works (displays messages, but I'm having stickiness issues I'll start a new thread about) for me in crontab...:
/bin/echo "Starting rsync backups in one minute from `date`" | /usr/local/bin/growlnotify -s -a Terminal rsync 2> /dev/null
I sent its errors to /dev/null because it was giving some trivial error (which got e-mailed to my local user), but other than that it seems to work fine.
