You could use the notify-send command (man notify-send) for this task as well, if you put it into the script instead of the zenity line:
notify-send -t 50000 "Message from Simon Ives" "$1" This gives you one of the popup balloon messages, so it won't eat your clients' keypresses or interrupt their work, but it will remain on the screen for about 30 seconds. Increase the number if necessary, and add extra options if you want (such as "-u critical" for an eye-catching balloon, or "-i important" for an exclamation mark icon). -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
