Generate desktop notifications on behalf of killjoy.
killjoy is a systemd unit monitoring application. It discovers systemd units and tracks their states. When a unit changes to a state of interest, killjoy contacts notifiers. This application is a notifier which, upon being contacted by killjoy, will generate a desktop notification.
First, read the concepts section in the killjoy documentation.
This application is short-lived, so as to reduce RAM usage. When properly installed, this application will be auto-started whenever a D-Bus message is sent to it. When started, this application will consume all messages (presumably from killjoy) in its message queue, and then idle. If no messages arrive for more than a few seconds, this application quits.
Arch Linux users may use the killjoy-notifier-notification-git AUR package. A stable package will be created when this application further matures.
Rust developers may install killjoy with cargo. Note that libdbus must be
installed. (On Ubuntu, this is provided by the libdbus-1-dev package.)
bash
cargo install killjoy-notifier-notification
No configuration is necessary or possible.
Define a notifier in killjoy's configuration file:
json
"notification": {
"bus_type": "session",
"bus_name": "name.jerebear.KilljoyNotifierNotification1"
}
Then, list it in a rule's list of notifiers.
When this application receives a message, it will generate a desktop notification.
