ntfy.sh is a cool tool for sending push notifications for your mobile device. Here is a guide on how to send notificaitons for long running scripts you execute in your shell

1. Download the app
2. Create a "topic" within the app
3. Using curl, send a request to your topic. e.g. curl https://ntfy.sh/YOUR_TOPIC

Let's simulate it. Here is what a notification might look like for a passing script

  
    sleep 30 && curl -H prio:low -d "Laptop backup succeeded" ntfy.sh/YOUR_TOPIC || curl -H tags:warning -H prio:high -d "Laptop backup failed" ntfy.sh/jc13test
  

Here is what a notification might look like for a failing script

  
    false && curl -H prio:low -d "Laptop backup succeeded" ntfy.sh/YOUR_TOPIC || curl -H tags:warning -H prio:high -d "Laptop backup failed" ntfy.sh/jc13test
  

Great, now just replace sleep 30 or false with your script. e.g. test.py
