I was asking how to edit the command to catch the output, in fact. ;)
I tried but never found how to do it.

That won't make much difference to me. I'd be happy with any way to  
use Growl...
Another option could be to install Growl with TM (Adium X does this I  
think), but I understand that you don't like that.

That would help. But I'd still prefer Growl. ;) It's much more  
beautiful and configurable + I it's nice to have a central  
notification system.

Thanks for you answer.
