Growl Notifications

I've been using this script for at least a couple years without any issues
but now after upgrading to 6 b11 the notifications will show in Prowl app
on my devices but the text doesn't popup on my devices and make the alert sound
as it used to. Unless you checked the Prowl app you'd never know they were sent.

Code: Select all
set myDescription to value of variable "GrowlAlert"

tell application id "com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp"
   
   notify with name ¬
      "Test Notification" title ¬
      "Message fron home." description ¬
      myDescription application name "Indigo"
   
end tell


I've never used the Growl plugin as for some reason it won't show any prefs
to configure even after running permissions and disk repair....but that has always
been the case and the Growl notifications have always worked well using the script.

Any ideas or tips greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Carl

Re: Growl Notifications

It works on a test machine running 10.8 but when I upgraded my elderly 10.5
server that runs my house to V6 the Growl script stopped working.

I think I just need to get house server machine upgraded and take it from there.
Too many odd things happening :-(

I am very curious though about how I can get the old machine to send out a Growl/Prowl
ok, and receive and see it listed in Prowl on my devices, but there is no alert sound or popup on them when they come in.

Thanks,

Carl

Re: Growl Notifications

Just reading on the Prowl forum that Apple is doing maintenance and that
the notifications aren't working.

I got mine working in that they are sent from Indigo and received on my devices
but there is no popup or alert sound when they come in. I do see them listed
in the Prowl app.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

Carl

Re: Growl Notifications

It is a known issue related to a security breach at the Apple developer website and should be fixed soon.
