## Remote desktop notifications

Lets say we are running a job that takes a long time, maybe we are
compiling or running a large test suite. Instead of watching the
terminal until it completes, or flipping back to check on it every so
often, we can create a listener that displays a popup notification when
the job finishes.

In one terminal run the listener:

    que example/notify --then "notify-send '\que' '\msg'"

In some other terminal run the job that takes forever:

    runtests ; echo "tests are done" | que example/notify -

When terminal 2 succeeds, terminal 1 will print "tests are done", then
call the `notify-send` command, which displays a notification toast in
Linux with title "`example/notify`" and content "`tests are done`".

Que paths are multi-producer and multi-consumer, so you can add as many
terminals as you want.

On macOS you could use:

    osascript -e 'display notification "\msg" with title "\que"'

in place of notify-send.
