36 One can configure a few things:
38 - `bgnotify_threshold` sets the notification threshold time (default 6 seconds)
39 - `function bgnotify_formatted` lets you change the notification
41 Use these by adding a function definition before the your call to source. Example:
44 bgnotify_threshold=4 ## set your own notification threshold
46 function bgnotify_formatted {
47 ## $1=exit_status, $2=command, $3=elapsed_time
48 [ $1 -eq 0 ] && title="Holy Smokes Batman!" || title="Holy Graf Zeppelin!"
49 bgnotify "$title -- after $3 s" "$2";
52 plugins=(git bgnotify) ## add to plugins list
53 source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh ## existing source call
