nfy
—
a minimal and daemonless notification program for X
nfy
creates a temporary notification popup window and
displays all the arguments that were passed to it. Configuration is done by
editing the 'config.h' file in the source code.
-v
- prints version to stdout and exits.
If the string is not surrounded in quotes, nfy
will
print one line for each word.
nfy
has a non-blocking behaviour, meaning
that commands coming after it can execute normally without them having to
wait for nfy
to finish first. This is especially
helpful inside scripts.
nfy
handles multiple notifications by
queuing them using a lock file.
nfy
handles only SIGALRM, SIGTERM and SIGINT. It
receives a SIGALRM signal by default after the specified duration of the
notification.
