Ah… well, a simple way is to put { on the first line and then e.g. “}| 
growlShellNotify” on the last line. This will cause all stdout output  
from the stuff in the block, to be piped to growlShellNotify, e.g.:

{
echo foo
echo bar
}|growlShellNotify

To also have stderr redirected, use: “} 2>&1|growlShellNotify”.

If we want to pipe it to growl, but still want it to show as a tool  
tip, we could (most likely) do: “} 2>&1|tee >(growlShellNotify)”. I  
say most likeky, because some commands deal with stdin in a way that  
is not compatible with process substitution.
