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/nullIn 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.)
