    Disconnected from OAR job 960063

Ever been disconnected from Grid'5000 machines with a message like this, losing part or all of your work?

Vizir is a simple Ruby script that monitors your interactive jobs on Grid'5000[http://www.grid5000.fr/].
It triggers Growl[http://growl.info/] notifications when your reservations are going to terminate, allowing you to save your work and/or your deployed environments.

Vizir only supports Mac OS X for now.

== Getting Started

Run the following if you haven't already:
    $ gem sources -a http://gems.github.com

Install the gem:
    $ sudo gem install priteau-vizir

Configure Growl to accept notifications. Go to the Growl preference panel, and in the Network options enable "Listen for incoming notifications" and "Allow remote application registration". Don't forget to setup a password.

Run it in the background, using the <tt>--login</tt> switch with your Grid'5000 login name and the <tt>--password</tt> switch with your Growl password.

    $ vizir --login priteau --password mygrowlpassword &

Vizir uses HotCocoa to trigger Growl notifications. HotCocoa is shipped with Mac OS X 10.5, so it should work out of the box on Leopard.

Run Vizir in the background, using the <tt>--login</tt> switch with your Grid'5000 login name.
