Example

Growl Notifications

Source: http://growl.info/
Icon Support: Yes
Message Format: Text
Message Limit: 32768 Characters per message

Growl requires this script to pre-register the notifications it sends before being able to actually send something. Make sure you are configured to allow application registration!

Syntax

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

growl://{hostname}
growl://{hostname}:{port}
growl://{password}@{hostname}
growl://{password}@{hostname}:{port}
growl://{hostname}/?priority={priority}

Depending on the version of your Apple OS, you may wish to enable the legacy protocol version (v1.4) as follows if you have problems receiving the icon in version 2 (the default):

growl://{password}@{hostname}?version=1

Parameter Breakdown

Variable	Required	Description
hostname	Yes	The server Growl server is listening on.
port	No	The port Growl Server is listening on. By default the port is 23053. You will probably never have to change this.
password	No	The password associated with the Growl server if you set one up.
version	No	The default version is 2, but you can specify the attribute ?version=1 if you would require the 1.4 version of the protocol.
priority	No	Can be low, moderate, normal, high, or emergency; the default is normal if a priority isn't specified.
image	No	Whether or not to include an icon/image along with your message. By default this is set to yes.
sticky	No	The Gotify sticky flag; by default this is set to no.

Example

Send a Growl notification to our server

# Assuming our {hostname} is growl.server.local
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   growl://growl.server.local

Some versions of Growl don't display the image/icon correctly, you can also try the following to see if this solves it for you:

# Send a Growl notification using a a raw binary image (instead of URL - internally)
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   growl://growl.server.local?version=1
