growlnotify: -s doesn't work, --sticky doesn't process?

Post by Perez »

I wasn't sure if I should post here or make a growltrac ticket... here goes, and I can move this if need be.

I've been using growlnotify to leave sticky notifications when I run rsync backups from crontab, something like (in my personal crontab - crontab -e):

Code: Select all

29 04 * * *     /bin/echo "Starting rsync backups in one minute from `date`" | /usr/local/bin/growlnotify -s -a Terminal rsync 2> /dev/null
However, as of the version of Growl that came with Adium 0.83b8 (looks like it was 0.7.1b5), the -s option for growlnotify no longer makes notifications sticky, and as of 0.7.2b1, the --sticky option is unrecognized.

In between 0.7.1b5 and 0.7.2b1, I ran the uninstaller and installed 0.7.1b4.

(I'm redirecting growlnotify's error output to /dev/null because it was generating - and therefore cron was e-mail to me - some error, but growlnotify worked fine.)

You do have it set to allow sticky in the growl prefs right?

Yep. And if I go in the Growl preferences and change the checkbox from 'somewhat checked' ( the [-] - 'do as told') to checked, the notifications stick.
