sh indication message

[onyxwolf]

I want to produce a message like the new mail message evolution puts out (one that pops up in the corner and goes away by itself), and was wondering if anyone knew of a sh/bash script way of doing it. The same box and style message is given by my sensors-applet (2.2.1), so I know its possible-- I just don't know if its heavy programing or a simple Zenity style program that outputs it.

No I'm not looking for zenity. Mainly because I don't want to have to press ok to get rid of it (unless there's a way to conf that specific zenity message to pop-up and go away on its own). Sorry, probably a new thread for old question.

That was perfect thank you the libnotify-bin package with the notify-send is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!
For future reference:
sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin ##repository http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe
notify-send "put message here!"

Again thank you and great catch!

Cool! I didn't even think of adding popup until I edited it this afternoon. I didn't even think to google the popup. one of those duh, moments.

Don't feel bad, my very first post to the forums was a duh instance, a simple forgotten space in a command line.
