Growl 1.1.1 and "mailme"

(Yes, Growl is out of our control. But so is any mechanism we'd use to really send mail, OSX itself, your drives, antivirus, applescript... lots and lots of stuff!)

I sent essentially the same email to growl (sans "suggestion").

While it is true that a bunch of stuff is outside your control, growl adds yet another layer. I think if you added check boxes for "run this script on success" and "run this script on failure" that that particular feature of OS X used to start up the scripts is pretty generic and will be stable over time. And suspect scripts created by Automator (and Apple product included with OS X) will also be stable, but under control of the user.

Interestingly, prior to Growl integration and automounting disk drives, I had a script surrounding the entire SuperDuper process. The only problem was determining if the copy was OK or not. When SuperDuper ends, does it return a code to an invoking script which indicates completion status? Perhaps just add some Automator actions?
