Module Guard::Notifier::Growl
In: lib/guard/notifiers/growl.rb

System notifications using the [growl](github.com/visionmedia/growl) gem.

This gem is available for OS X and sends system notifications to [Growl](growl.info) through the [GrowlNotify](growl.info/downloads) executable.

The `growlnotify` executable must be installed manually or by using [Homebrew](mxcl.github.com/homebrew/).

Sending notifications with this notifier will not show the different Guard notifications in the Growl preferences. Use the :gntp or :growl_notify notifiers if you want to customize each notification type in Growl.

@example Install `growlnotify` with Homebrew

  brew install growlnotify

@example Add the `growl` gem to your `Gemfile`

  group :development
    gem 'growl'
  end

@example Add the `:growl` notifier to your `Guardfile`

  notification :growl

@example Add the `:growl_notify` notifier with configuration options to your `Guardfile`

  notification :growl, :sticky => true, :host => '192.168.1.5', :password => 'secret'
