+# bgnotify zsh plugin
+
+cross-platform background notifications for long running commands! Supports OSX and Linux.
+
+Standalone homepage: [t413/zsh-background-notify](https://github.com/t413/zsh-background-notify)
+
+---
+
+## How to use
+
+Just add bgnotify to your plugins list in your `.zshrc`
+
+- On OS X you'll need [terminal-notifier](https://github.com/alloy/terminal-notifier)
+ * `brew install terminal-notifier` (or `gem install terminal-notifier`)
+- On Linux, make sure you have `notify-send` or `kdialog` installed. If you're using Ubuntu you should already be all set!
+- On Windows you can use [notifu](https://www.paralint.com/projects/notifu/) or the Cygwin Ports libnotify package

+
+## Configuration
+
+One can configure a few things:
+
+- `bgnotify_bell` enabled or disables the terminal bell (default true)
+- `bgnotify_threshold` sets the notification threshold time (default 6 seconds)
+- `function bgnotify_formatted` lets you change the notification. You can for instance customize the message and pass in an icon.
+- `bgnotify_extraargs` appends extra args to notifier (e.g. `-e` for notify-send to create a transient notification)
+
+Use these by adding a function definition before the your call to source. Example:
+
+```sh
+bgnotify_bell=false ## disable terminal bell
+bgnotify_threshold=4 ## set your own notification threshold
+
+function bgnotify_formatted {
+ ## $1=exit_status, $2=command, $3=elapsed_time
+
+ # Humanly readable elapsed time
+ local elapsed="$(( $3 % 60 ))s"
+ (( $3 < 60 )) || elapsed="$((( $3 % 3600) / 60 ))m $elapsed"
+ (( $3 < 3600 )) || elapsed="$(( $3 / 3600 ))h $elapsed"
+
+ [ $1 -eq 0 ] && title="Holy Smokes Batman" || title="Holy Graf Zeppelin"
+ [ $1 -eq 0 ] && icon="$HOME/icons/success.png" || icon="$HOME/icons/fail.png"
+ bgnotify "$title - took ${elapsed}" "$2" "$icon"
+}
+
+plugins=(git bgnotify) ## add to plugins list
+source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh ## existing source call
+```
