I use a board with 32 RGB LEDs to show process status: https://github.com/shapr/bloohm

If you ever have multiple hour long builds and/or test suites running, this is is a big help.



Cool idea.

> time $* && fin || die

I don't know zsh, but this doesn't look escaped properly to me? Bash has so many footguns.

What does the bloom filter do? Is it sort of like a hash to try to make each process show up on a different LED on the display?


Also bonus feature is the LEDs that light up for the same command in the same directory are also the same LEDs.

That means I can tell exactly which processes are in which status.


Yes, that's exactly what it does!
