iTerm2 is fantastic! It can be a bit CPU hungry but you get a stack of mod cons out of the bargain.

There are tons of proprietary escape codes, not least of all the incredibly useful one for "fireworks"! [1]

    ^[]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks^G

To save people needing to lookup how to use that:

    perl -e 'print "\e]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks\007\n"'

and

   echo -e "\x1B]1337;RequestAttention=fireworks\007"
