Introduction to libnotify

libnotify is part of the Desktop Notifications framework. The Desktop Notifications provides a standard way of doing passive pop-up notifications on the Linux desktop. The other component to this framework is the Notification-daemon. Passive messaging can be used in compiled languages such as C, but sending passive messages using shell scripts is trivial as well. Here are some examples for using libnotify in Bash scripts and C.
