+"""
+This plugin will launch a notification when a long running command finishes
+and terminal is not active.
+
+It uses VTE's special sequence which is sent when shell prints the prompt. It
+depends on https://github.com/GNOME/vte/blob/vte-0-58/src/vte.sh (which has to
+be added to /etc/profile.d) and you need to ensure `__vte_prompt_command` is
+executed on `PROMPT_COMMAND` in Bash or in `precmd_functions` in Zsh.
+
+This plugin also relies on the widely distributed vte patches to wire in a 
+`notification_received` signal to catch the OSC escape sequence in the prompt
+
+Code is adapted from https://github.com/x4lldux/terminator-long-cmd-notify
+Thanks to @xll4dux on Github for the code and his permission to use it
