Linux: set custom alert/toast/not sure of name
Sorry for the wording, I'm referring to the toast (that's how Android calls them) that appears on the top right of the screen when ce开发者_StackOverflowrtain events happens.
Examples: a torrent is done (Transmission) or a new song is playing (Banshee)
Does anyone know how to define one inside a script or a program?
Thank you
What you're looking for is libnotify
which also has a command line client called notify-send
that can be used like this:
notify-send <summary> <body>
Howabout zenity
- installed in gnome by default. as always, man zenity
for more information
zenity --info --text "message her..."
If you're using Gnome, you probably want: http://developer.gnome.org/libnotify/
I believe that most of the other desktops will respect notifications sent using libnotify, but have to admit to not having tried it.
