Yo Attached is a patch that enables osc to run post-command hooks. To use it, create ~/.osc/hooks. Inside that directory, create a directory for each command you'd like to hook. For instance, ~/.osc/hooks/build/. Everything in that directory will be run when the command completes. It tries to ignore backup files and the like, but I surely missed a few created by editors I don't use. :) A script in ~/.osc/hooks/build might look like: #!/bin/sh notify-send "osc build finished" but of course they can be as simple or complicated as you wish. Of course, they need to be executable. Finally, directories need to be named for real command names, so, for instance, create a hook in ~/.osc/hooks/checkout, even if you actually always run "osc co ...". I've been running with this patch for about two weeks and it seems to work ok. It would be cool to be able to send arguments to the hooks, but currently the patch doesn't do that. Michael.
