How to design a sticky note pop-up when file is present?
I would like to check if file is present via and open a terminal window with a
simple message.
I think a simple bash script and a cron job would do the trick or is there a
better solution?
Only partially related, I wrote the following dumb little script for crontab

certain level, etc. Really simple, but it works on most X systems.
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then export DISPLAY=localhost:0; fi
xmopts=
while [ "$1" = "-x" ]; do
xmopts="$xmopts $2"
shift;shift
done
echo "$@

$ ssh -t user@IP_address 'gxmessage -nearmouse -borderless --display :0.0
-entry Test message'
