gtmess-notify - popup notification windows
gtmess-notify
gtmess-notify is a simple Tcl/Tk script that pops up notification windows starting from the lower right corner of the screen. The script watches a named pipe for new lines and displays the contents of each line in a separate popup window. It was written as a companion to the gtmess messenger client, but could be of general use.
First we start our daemon:
$ gtmess-notify &
Then we can popup anything, like:
$ echo "hello world" > ~/.gtmess/notify.pip
When we’re done we can kill it:
$ killall gtmess-notify
~/.gtmess/notify.pip
The named pipe where the text to be displayed is read from. If the file does not exist it is created. When the script catches a SIGINT signal, it deletes the pipe and exits.
gtmess(1), gtmess_w(1), notify-send(1), growlnotify(1)
Script fails to remove the pipe upon SIGTERM (at least in Darwin).
Inspired from the aMSN messenger client.
