	~~=== Shell Scripts ===~~

	~~Shell scripts can use the following function to generate pop-up messages. This~~ is a ~~handy function to use in scripts that are executed by cron~~.

	~~showMessage(){~~

	~~user=`whoami`~~
	~~pids=`pgrep -u $user xfce4-session` # Replace xfce4-session with your session manager~~.

	~~icon=$1~~
	~~urgency=$2~~
	~~timeout=$3~~
	~~title=$4~~
	~~text="$5" # The " around this argument are critical if the message has spaces~~.
	# ~~Otherwise only the first word will be displayed~~.

	~~# Find DBUS session bus for this session~~
	~~DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`grep -z DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS \~~
	/~~proc~~/~~$pids~~/~~environ \| sed -e 's~~/~~DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=//'`~~

	# ~~Now use it to send the notification~~
	~~DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS \~~
	~~notify-send -i $icon -u $urgency -t $timeout "$title" "$text"~~

	}

	~~===~~ C/C~~++ ===~~

	~~Include the notify header in your project and the following function to generate pop-up notifications in your application~~. ~~This is a useful alternative for warning and non-critical error messages since it requires~~ no ~~user interaction.~~

	~~#include <libnotify/notify~~.h>

	~~int main(int argc, char *argv[])~~
	{

	~~char *title = "Reminder";~~
	~~char *text = "CLFS is for real Linux users";~~
	~~char *icon = "/usr/share/icons/gnome/16x16/emblems/emblem-important.png"~~

	~~NotifyNotification *n;~~

	~~notify_init("Basics");~~
	~~n = notify_notification_new (title, text, icon, NULL);~~

	~~notify_notification_set_timeout (n, 5000); // 5 seconds~~

	~~if (!notify_notification_show (n, NULL))~~
	{
	~~fprintf(stderr, "Failed to send notification\n");~~
	~~return 1;~~
	}

	~~g_object_unref(G_OBJECT(n));~~

	~~return 0;~~
