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}

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.

Example

Send a Growl notification to our server

# Assuming our {hostname} is growl.server.local
apprise growl://growl.server.local
