nfy
—
a minimal and daemonless notification program for X
nfy
reads input from stdin (only), creates a temporary
popup window and displays it. Configuration is done by editing the 'config.h'
file in the source code.
It has 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 useful
inside scripts.
nfy
handles multiple notifications by
queuing them using a lock file.
-d
duration
- Specify the duration of the notification. The default duration value is
specified in 'config.h'.
-v
- prints version to stdout and exits.
nfy
handles only SIGALRM, SIGTERM and SIGINT. It
receives a SIGALRM signal by default after the specified duration of the
notification.
