How It Works

Druminaa monitors:

1. Task Execution - Plays sound when tasks fail (non-zero exit code)
2. Terminal Commands - Plays sound when shell commands fail
3. Terminal Exit - Plays sound when terminal exits with error code

When a failure is detected, it plays your configured sound and shows a notification.

Examples

Detected Failures:

• Task build fails
• Terminal command returns non-zero exit code
• Shell execution errors
• Terminal closes with error status
