## Usage
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
herbe "herbe notifications" " " "Daemon-less notifications without D-Bus. Minimal and lightweight."
|
||||
$ herbe "herbe notifications" " " "Daemon-less notifications without D-Bus. Minimal and lightweight."
|
||||
```
|
||||
will display the notification shown above
|
||||
|
||||
### Dismiss a notification
|
||||
A notification can be dismissed either by clicking on it with `DISMISS_BUTTON` (set in config.h, defaults to left mouse button) or sending a `SIGUSR1` signal to it:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ pkill -SIGUSR1 herbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Actions
|
||||
Action is a piece of shell code that runs when a notification gets accepted. Accepting a notification is the same as dismissing it, but you have to use either `ACTION_BUTTON` (defaults to right mouse button) or the `SIGUSR2` signal.
|
||||
An accepted notification always returns exit code 3. To specify an action:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ herbe "Notificatio body" ; [ $? -eq 3 ] && echo "This is an action"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Where everything after `&&` is the action and will get executed after the notification gets accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
### Notifications don't show up
|
||||
Most likely a running notification got terminated forcefully (SIGKILL or any uncaught signal) which caused the semaphore not getting unlocked. First, kill any `herbe` instance that is stuck:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ pkill -SIGKILL herbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then just call `herbe` without any arguments:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
$ herbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
Notifications should now show up as expected.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't ever send any signals to `herbe` except these:
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
# same as pkill -SIGTERM herbe, terminates every running herbe process
|
||||
$ pkill herbe
|
||||
|
||||
$ pkill -SIGUSR1 herbe
|
||||
$ pkill -SIGUSR2 herbe
|
||||
```
|
||||
And you should be fine. That's all you really need to interact with `herbe`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Multiple notifications
|
||||
Notifications are put in a queue and shown one after another in order of creation (first in, first out). They don't overlap and each one is shown for its entire duration.
