Hi,

As SABnzbd seems to have Growl support, I installed growl for linux ("gol") on my Ubuntu (see http://mattn.github.com/growl-for-linux/ for source). See below how.

Install:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mattn/growl-for-linux
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mattn/gntp-send

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install growl-for-linux
sudo apt-get install gntp-send

And now growl seems to work:

Start growl on linux:

Code: Select all

gol &

... and send a message:

Code: Select all

gntp-send 'hey there!' 'this is an important message ...'

... and that message appears in a pop-up on my Ubuntu screen.

So far I've not seen SABnzbd messages on my growl-screen :-( Maybe time to play with the growl settings in sabnzbd.ini? Or does SAB's growl only work on Mac OS X?

[growl]
ntfosd_enable = 1
growl_password = ""
growl_enable = 1
growl_server = ""

I remember something about universal growl support planned for 0.7. See also https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/comm ... d3322e8fc7

I did a "git clone -b develop git://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.git" to sab070, run it , and ... I have popups. But wait ... double popups: in the right lower corner from gol, and beautifull popups in the upper right corner. So some more research: sab070's config https://localhost:9090/sabnzbd/config/notify/ shows the options for Notifications:

Enable NotifyOSD
Enable Growl

Both were checked. Ah, that explains the double popups: the beautiful pop-ups are NotifyOSD, the less beautiful pop-ups are Growl.

Cool.

FWIW: Ubuntu 11.04
