Notify ODS command-line utility

Posted on 8:30 PM by Unknown
Linux has this nifty little notification system that is grossly under utilized. According the the folks over at Canonical, they're working to make most applications support this handy little interface called Notify OSD. I wanted to leverage this facility to notify me when snort had triggered on something, so I wrote a pynotify -- small python script to allow me to interface with Notify OSD, from the command-line and/or scripts.

The potential here is enormous. If you have scripts that run in the background, but that you need to know when they're done, you can just call this little puppy and get notified in an ultra cool way. Feel free to mangle this into other things. It should be pretty straight-forward.
