MNOTIFY(1)

✨ mNotify — it's giving "your job is done, bestie" 💌

okay so real quick, this is mNotify from the Montage manual (section 1, like all the good command-line stuff 💅). she's a little helper script that picks up the phone and tells you how your Grid job is doing. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

mNotify — notify user of job status or completion in a Grid environment ✨

like... she literally just notifies you. no cap. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mNotify jobID userID resultsURL

three little args, that's it, that's the whole interface 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the tea is: mNotify connects to a remote service to notify you about the status or completion of a job in a Grid environment. 🌐✨

lowkey, the current implementation does all its notifying via email 📧 — that's the move right now. but heads up bestie: this is going to be replaced with more sophisticated notification in the future. so like... don't get too attached to the email thing, okay? 🙈 the interface is growing up and we're all just here for the glow-up. 💅

😭 BUGS 😭

okay so, listen. this one's important, no cap. 🚨

this module has been used extensively — like, she's been around the block, she's got main character energy, she's seen things 💀 — but she has not been subject to the same rigorous testing that the core modules have been subjected to. not even close. 🙈

so the official advice is: contact Montage at montage@ipac.caltech.edu before employing them so you can verify the limitations in their use and any changes in the interfaces. fr fr, send the email. don't just rawdog it into production. 🫶

seriously bestie, email first. montage@ipac.caltech.edu. it costs you like twelve seconds and saves you a whole meltdown. 😌
