NAME

pinotify - Send desktop notification to notify-daemon

SYNOPSYS

pinotify summary body1 body2 ...

DESCRIPTION

pinotify(1) communicates with notify-daemon(8) to send desktop notifications. It uses a named pipe to send messages to notify-daemon(8). The default named pipe is rundir/notify-desktop/notify-fifo which can be changed by setting NOTIFYFIFO environment variable. rundir is /run, /var/run or /tmp depending on your system.

pinotify(1) uses the following format for the message written to the named pipe (here <sp> stands for the white space character)

summary:stext\nbody1:btext\nbody2:btext\nend:\n"

where stext is the summary that will be used for desktop notification and btext is the body text that will be used for desktop notification. See the man page for notify-send(1).

RETURN VALUE

0 if all steps were successful, non-zero otherwise. A diagnostic message is printed if pinotify encounters any error. If any systerm error is encountered, the return value will be 111.
