if you see something (build finished) say something
Sometimes our build process take a minute, so I had Co-Pilot help build me a script to use the mac's text to speech to announce when it looks like we were ready to go:
#!/bin/bash
# Check if at least one argument is provided
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <nx_command> [args...]"
exit 1
fi
# Build the nx command from the provided arguments
nx_command="$@"
log_file="nx_command.log"
# Run the command in the background and capture its PID
$nx_command &> $log_file &
pid=$!
# Monitor the log file for the specific line
tail -f $log_file | while read line; do
echo "$line"
if [[ "$line" == *"All remotes started"* ]]; then
say "ready"
break
fi
done
# Wait for the nx command to finish
wait $pid

print design in browser via PHP
It's funny in how so many ways I can use a little coding mojo and not have to fiddle with Word/Google Doc, Excel/Sheets - or Wordpress for that matter, but that's a longer story.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lynette Table</title>
<style>
body { font-family: sans-serif; }
table { border-collapse: collapse; font-size:1.5em;}
td { border: 0px solid black; padding: 10px; text-align: center;
padding:24px;
}
.bigger{
font-size:1.4em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<?php
for ($row = 0; $row < 5; $row++) {
echo "<tr>";
for ($col = 0; $col < 3; $col++) {
echo <<<HTML
