A command-line tool for sending desktop notifications in freedesktop.

DESCRIPTION

With notify-send you can send desktop notifications to the user via a notification daemon from the command line. These notifications can be used to inform the user about an event or display some form of information without getting in the user’s way.

OPTIONS 

       -?, --help
           Show help and exit.

       -u, --urgency=LEVEL
           Specifies the urgency level (low, normal, critical).

       -t, --expire-time=TIME
           The duration, in milliseconds, for the notification to appear on screen.

           (Ubuntu's Notify OSD and GNOME Shell both ignore this parameter.)

       -i, --icon=ICON[,ICON...]
           Specifies an icon filename or stock icon to display.

       -c, --category=TYPE[,TYPE...]
           Specifies the notification category.

       -h, --hint=TYPE:NAME:VALUE
           Specifies basic extra data to pass. Valid types are INT, DOUBLE, STRING and BYTE.
