notify-desktop

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Little application that lets you send desktop notifications with one command.

It's basically clone of notify-send from libnotify, but it supports reusing notifications

on screen by passing its ID. It also does not use any external dependencies (except from

libdbus of course).  

I wrote it because I needed to reuse notifications on screen in my scripts.

Compiling

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Build dependencies are only pkg-config and libdbus.

    $ make

    $ sudo make install

    

Usage

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From notify-desktop --help:

    Usage: notify-desktop [OPTION...]  [BODY]

    

    Options:

       -r, --replaces-id=ID        Specifies the notifications ID that will be replaced

       -u, --urgency=LEVEL         Specifies the urgency level (low, normal, critical)

       -t, --expire-time=TIME      Specifies the timeout in milliseconds to expire the notification

       -a, --app-name=APP_NAME     Specifies the app name for the icon

       -i, --icon=ICON             Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display

       -c, --category=TYPE         Specifies the notification category

ID of sent notification is written into standard output.

Examples:

    

    notify-desktop "Minimal notification"

    

    notify-desktop --icon=call-start "Incoming call"

    

    notify-desktop -i down -u low "Low urgency" "Body of low urgency notification"

    

Example bash functions that use --replaces-id option can be found in doc/ directory.
