Description

===========

This is a simple Chef report handler that reports status of a Chef run

through Growl.

* http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Exception+and+Report+Handlers

Requirements

============

Platform: Mac OS X

Growl: Tested with version 1.3.2

Uses the `ruby_gntp` library.

Usage

=====

There are two ways to use Chef Handlers.

### Method 1

You can install the RubyGem ahead of time, and configure Chef to use

them. To do so:

    gem install chef-handler-growl

Then add to the configuration (`/etc/chef/solo.rb` for chef-solo or

`/etc/chef/client.rb` for chef-client):

    require "chef/handler/growl"

    report_handlers << Chef::Handler::Growl.new

    exception_handlers << Chef::Handler::Growl.new

### Method 2

Use the

[chef_handler cookbook by Opscode](http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/chef_handler).

Create a recipe with the following:

    # Install the `chef-handler-growl` RubyGem during the compile phase

    chef_gem "chef-handler-growl"

    # Then activate the handler with the `chef_handler` LWRP

    chef_handler "Chef::Handler::Growl" do

      source "chef/handler/growl"

      action :enable

    end

Roadmap

=======

Things I would like to add:

* rspec tests - both Chef::Handler and GNTP#notify have specs, so this

  was low priority.

* GNTP over the network capability. For example, if I have three

  virtual machines running Chef on an interval, I'd like them to send

  notification to my Mac workstation I'm using.

These are created as issues. Pull requests welcome.
