Re: Sending message to message tray

["G. Michael Carter" <mikey carterfamily ca>]

I'm trying to run it as nagios user.    The monitoring is done from my computer so I wanted a notification to come up when a service was down.

Managed to get the following working in a cron job:

export DISPLAY=:0

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications \

   org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify string:"nagios" int32:1 string:"warning" string:"$1" string:"$2" array:string:"" dict:string:boolean:"transient","false"  int32:10000

But still has to run as the user currently logged on.

notify-send should work. Do you know why it fails?
