quick and dirty script to "growl" notify outcome of long-running command

grr

#!/bin/bash

# create an array from the params
declare -a CMD=($*)
# execute the command given by the params
${CMD[@]}
# notify the outcome given by the exit code
if [ $? == 0 ]
then 
     notify-send "${CMD[0]} passed" -i gtk-dialog-info
else 
     notify-send "${CMD[0]} failed" -i gtk-dialog-error
fi
