notin'
is a small notifications D-BUS listener implementing the
org.fredesktop.Notifications protocol.
notin'
simply listens for any notifications, and outputs them to stdout
.
It's meant as a simple companion for an XMonad or similar tiling
window manager, redirecting its output to dzen, as a small and unobtrusive
notifications bar.
Just call python notin.py
, and cause a notification to happen: Flip a song
on Amarok, get a message from Kopete, or call notify-send foo
, and you'll
see your message appear on notin's output.
Notin's meant to be used with a dzen window: just pipe its output through:
python notin.py | dzen2
Your notifications will appear on your dzen bar. Note the -u
: Without it,
Python will buffer stdout
, and you won't get updates on time!
