Title:
notify-send(1) can't replace an existing notification
Status in libnotify package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in libnotify package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: libnotify-bin
Ubuntu 8.04, libnotify-bin 0.4.4-3build1.
notify-send(1) is very useful but it doesn't tell me the notification
ID that's been created, nor does it let me specify that to replace an
earlier notification. See http://www.galago-
project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html#command-notify, in
particular the replaces_id parameter and the return value.
I'd like to be able to use it something like
id=$(notify-send --show-id foo)
sleep 60
notify-send --replace $id bar
This would be great for long-running shell scripts that are monitoring
something.
