It's fine I think you're golden with Growl given it has two events. I'd really suggest the applescript rules. Think of applescript as just a different language and don't try to make it a 1:1 comparison to say bash or python. It's more like plain talking so to speak.
Anyhow you could write a script to watch for the contents for the different things you want to watch for. The very end of our documentation talks about how to execute a shell script from there: http://growl.info/documentation/applescript-rules I think this is going to handle what you need and be fairly simple once you've got it worked out in your head and laid out. If you read it and run into issues once making the script reply back here. On Sat, Mar 25, 2017 at 2:27 AM, Richard L.
