This is just a quick post (as I promised, recently) to let you all know that I’ve published the first release of my Growl for Windows module for PowerShell over on PoshCode.
I haven’t been able to get callbacks to work, and I spent way too much time playing with them instead of publishing this, or working on remote growls … but nonetheless, it’s sufficient to let you pop up growl notifications from scripts, which you can, of course, customize in Growl itself.
You can add a few additional notice types very simply (you just hard code them in the script, copying lines 19 and 21 — remember you need to use the same notice names each time anyway) ... and then tweak them in Growl to have different display types, or to make some of your notice types sticky, or have them forwarded to your iPhone or whatever.
Here’s the first version of the script:
Note: if you want to use this on PowerShell 1.0, just comment out the [Parameter( lines, and dot-source it, it should work fine. In PowerShell 2.0 you’ll want to load it as a module, because doing so will hide some of those ugly script variables.
