  • Official Website: http://growl.info/
  • Icon Support: Yes
  • Message Format: Text

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!

Receipe

Valid receipes 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
