Ubuntu notifications

[SigmaSanti]

Hi, I was wondering how to make my program use the built in notifications of Ubuntu, notify-OSD, like other programs such as rhythmbox. If someone could post a link to a description of how to do this, or the syntax of the command that would be great.

Even better, if you have example code in C++ or similar language, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Basically you write a bash script to make a call to notify-osd and ask it to display a message specified by you.

Also, thanks for bringing this up, i might use this in some of my projects.

You write a bash script if you want to use it from scripts.

For C/C++ it should work using libnotify:
