Configuration

One can configure a few things:

  • bgnotify_threshold sets the notification threshold time (default 6 seconds)
  • function bgnotify_formatted lets you change the notification

Use these by adding a function definition before the your call to source. Example:

bgnotify_threshold=4  ## set your own notification threshold

function bgnotify_formatted {
  ## $1=exit_status, $2=command, $3=elapsed_time
  [ $1 -eq 0 ] && title="Holy Smokes Batman!" || title="Holy Graf Zeppelin!"
  bgnotify "$title -- after $3 s" "$2";
}

plugins=(git bgnotify)  ## add to plugins list
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh  ## existing source call
