jenkins-destop-notify

Send desktop notifications on jenkins jobs status changes (completion, failure etc)

Works on fedora, ubuntu etc eg. where you able to install notify-send.

Require: notify-send

Run:

./jenkins-desktop-notify <path-to-config-file>

Configuration

Config file is a simple json file:

{
 "jenkins url" : "<put jenkins url to specific view here, this is only required config option>",
 "jobs": [<put list of jobs that you want to watch here. Other jobs will be ignored>],
 "user": "<Specify user name here, if your jenkins requres auth for access. You can omit this and password fields if your jenkins doesn't require auth>",
 "password": "Specify Jenkins API token (find it in your jenkins profile) or password (on old jenkins)"
}

where jenkins url is url pointing to specific view, for example http://127.0.0.1:8080/view/All

Alternative

Alternatively, instead of this script you can use Jenkins RSS and some of available RSS readers (unfortunately, I was unaware of Jenkins RSS when I've wrote this script :)
