This hint didn't work for me as suggested. When I created the ~/.bashrc and ~/.preexec_bash files, then restarted terminal, nothing happened. I verified that growlnotify was working, but I couldn't get anything to output.

I moved the .bashrc commands to /etc/bashrc and moved the preexec_bash portion to /etc/ as well (updating the reference in bashrc to point at the right place)

It works now, but doesn't grab the command name, reporting instead that "Some Command" took X seconds to finish. I tested with "sleep 20"

I ended up putting the part it said to put in ~/.bashrc in to ~/.profile. If the .profile file exists, it ignores anything in .bashrc. I do have the same problem of it saying "Some Command" still.
