Responses are prefixed with the username and a TAB.\n\n## Installation\n\nIt's just a shell script. Download [notify-send-all](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hackerb9/notify-send-all/main/notify-send-all), make it executable, and put it in your path. Or clone the repository, and add the working copy to your path. \n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n \n ```\n wget raw.githubusercontent.com/hackerb9/notify-send-all/main/notify-send-all\n chmod +x notify-send-all\n sudo mv notify-send-all /usr/local/bin/\n ```\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## Requirements\n\nUsers must be logged in graphically (X or Wayland) with dbus and a notification daemon running. This program does not yet work for users logged in on the console.\n\n## Usage\n\n**notify-send-all** _[options]_ \\\u003cmessage\u003e \n    \n### Simple usage\n\n    notify-send-all \"My hovercraft is full of eels\"\n\n### More complex example\n\n    notify-send-all --urgency=critical \\\\\n                    --action=run=\"Run away!\" \\\\\n                    --action=hide=\"Hide!\" \\\\\n                    \"Warning: Nuclear launch imminent\"\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eClick to see example output\u003c/summary\u003e\n \n    andy\t\trun\n    circus\t\thide\n    hackerb9\trun\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## Bugs\n \n* `-?`, `--help` only works correctly if it is the first argument.\n  \n* If a user is logged in on a console instead of a graphical session\n  (X or Wayland), then `notify-send` hangs for a long time before\n  timing out on StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.Notifications. \n  This seems to be a bug in libnotify-1.8.1.\n\n  This bug is also triggered when the user is logged in on both\n  console and graphical sessions and logged into the console first.\n  In that case, not only does notify-send hang, but notifications\n  will not show up at all in the graphical session.\n\n \n## Bonus commands\n### notify-send-to\nIf you make a symlink called `notify-send-to`, you can use it to send a pop up notification to a single user. \n### notify-send-others\nIf you make a symlink called `notify-send-others`, you can use it to send a pop up notification to all users but yourself.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fnotify-send-all","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fnotify-send-all","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhackerb9%2Fnotify-send-all/lists"}
