Get alerts on your phone when your shell commands are complete!

tell-me-when is a simple utility written in python 3 that sends you an sms message when a shell command finishes executing.

tell-me-when relies on the twilio api in order to send messages, as such, you'll need to setup an account on twilio (generally a 5-minute process) in order to get up and running with this tool.

tell-me-when was inspired after having to leave deep neural networks training for long unpredictable periods of time, without any means of alerting me when they had finished training

using tell-me-when is dead simple.

$ tmw "shell command to execute with arguments here"

that's it!

optionally, you may supply a phone number argument before or after the command to send the alert to a different phone

$ tmw "shell command to execute with arguments" -p +123 456 7890

Note: Phone numbers must be internationally formatted. This means supply a "+ <10-digit-number-here>"

The easiest way to get tmw running on your system is to execute the installation script. To do this:

• Download the source and unzip it or execute $ git clone https://github.com/CollinMickels/tmw
• $ cd tmw
• $ chmod +x install.sh
• $ sudo ./install.sh

Ensure you have you have python and pip installed before you execute the setup script
