Reminds me of my homegrown version of a notifier. Essentially we had a lot of long running tasks that would emit logs. My terminal notifier: 1. Scanned for patterns in these logs periodically. 2. Send out a mail to my Gmail account with specific subjects. 3. I had set up IFTTT[1] on my mobile (android) to scan my inbox and look for certain subject lines^, and trigger playing music. Worked like a charm for the ~6 months I was on the project. ^ Maybe bodies too, can't remember now, this was in 2015-2016.

My team knew of this setup, and when my phone would randomly play music, everyone would break into laughter as I hurried back to my desk to troubleshoot!
