Hi all, please educate me if I missed something on the man page, if I haven't, could this be added as a Feature Request?
I'm doing some shell scripting with growlnotify and I'd like to be able to add separate "Notification" types like apps do. The easiest example is how Adium has multiple Notification in it's notification drop down list e.g. sign on, sign off, new message, etc and EACH and be configured via Growl.
Right now, with growlnotify, the only thing shown is "Command-Line Growl Notification."
Yes, I could call growlnotify with different --name(s), but that's just going to clutter up the Application list when I'm doing multiple things with the same script.
I was hoping this was tied into -d, but that didn't work.

Just from looking at --help and not digging around, I think I agree with you that it's not possible currently.
What all are you doing though?

Well, obviously, since it's Growl I'm doing "very cool things." :)
First, I've been a very, very, minor contributor/tester for some CallerID scripts that a fellow named David LaPorte is doing and also a Mac OS X/use with PhonePower VOIP tester for the main NCID project which Dave's scripts use.
http://www.davidlaporte.org/tools/osxcallerid.html
http://ncid.sourceforge.net/
Dave's script uses Growl to display CallerID information from NCID. I've used it for sometime, but now with 1.3 and network notifications FINALLY pretty stable, I have Growl broadcasting CallerID to my Windows Based Media Centers via Growl for Windows and it's oh-so-sweet.
Right now, Dave's scripts have 4 possible things that a user many want different Growl actions for e.g. sticky/not sticky, priorities, etc. They are:
1. Known Callers: His script can poll the AddressBook and display CID lookups using a nicely formatted name and AddressBook picture.
2. Unknown Callers: Standard CID info you'd see on your phone.
3. WhoCalled Lookup: sign up for a free account and the number is matched with "known"/reported companies (mainly telemarketers).
4. Outgoing Caller ID: if your service supports it, you'll get CallerID info from a call you're placing.
We/I could have separate --name calls for growlnotify, but that will just fill up the application list with items that are technically the same "app."
Second, I'm also working on some shell scripts that will make use of Growl along with DeployStudio in our particular environment at the College where I'm employed. While I don't have a list (yet) it'll be mostly the same situation where one script will use Growl for multiple unique notifications where we may want each displayed different e.g. "okay" "warning" or "error."

Poking: Is this limitation still true in 2.0 (a year later)?
