NikratioI would like to display a notification message in the system tray from a cron script, similar to the one presented after a kernel upgrade. How can I do that? I couldn't find any hint in the postinst script of the kernel images..13:38
lagayou're probabyl looking for the notification daemon13:39
Nikratiolaga: might be. So how can I connect to it / use it?13:40
RAOFActually, you're probably after update-notifier.13:40
lagayeah, what he said. :)13:40
RAOFBasically, you want to dump a file in /var/lib/user.d.  The kernel postinst should be doing this; that's what you're looking for.13:40
NikratioIs the format of the file documented somewhere? It seems there are some special headers in there13:41
RAOFI don't believe that it is.  Or, at least, I don't recall finding such documentation when I was writing one for Xgl.13:43
NikratioI just dropped a file there and it didn't do anything13:44
stdinin /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/ ?13:44
Nikratioyes13:44
lagais update-notifier an ubuntu specific thing?13:44
RAOFYes.13:45
lagathat'd explain the lack of documentation :)13:46
NikratioI just downloaded the source. There seems to be some documentation in there13:47
NikratioOk, one also has to touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-was-run13:49
Nikratiobut this is actually not the kind of message that I meant13:49
NikratioWith update-notifier, one has to click on the small lamp icon and then the message is displayed in a window. I want to generate a message that directly pops up in the (default) lower right corner13:50
NikratioOk, I got it. If someone else is interested: such messages can be generated with the libnotify-bin package.13:59
lagacool, thanks13:59
