hi I've jsut installed the notifier on Ubuntu 14.04 and executed it , untill there it's all good but it just hangs should it be launched in background ?

Hey, yeah the script doesn't background itself so what you're seeing is expected behavior. You can background it manually (e.g. by using &).

Adding a flag that runs the script in the background would also be nice. I won't have time to work on this but would be happy to merge a pull request.

Let me know if this answers your question or if i misunderstood you.

@abiczo Would be nice if github-notifier would output some kind of confirmation text, that it is running without any issues.

@dotnetCarpenter that's a good idea. Unfortunately I don't have a linux machine at the moment so it'd be hard for me to make any changes but if you'd be interested sending out a pull request I'd be happy to merge it.
