From 4bc215806b62f687faec9f5176d717f071cc6c9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florent Le Coz Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 01:59:25 +0200 Subject: Improve the simple_notify plugin and the daemon to execute a command to clean the notification and to execute the remote commands through sh -c, letting us use pipes and redirections. Also adds the highlight event for plugin, and make the simple_notify plugin use it as well. --- doc/en/plugins/simple_notify.txt | 21 +++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/en/plugins/simple_notify.txt b/doc/en/plugins/simple_notify.txt index c210f703..5cadf941 100644 --- a/doc/en/plugins/simple_notify.txt +++ b/doc/en/plugins/simple_notify.txt @@ -17,14 +17,31 @@ default), and fill it like this: command = notify-send -i /path/to/poezio/data/poezio_80.png "New message from %(from)s" "%(body)s" --------------------------------------------------------------------- -You can put any command, instead of this one.
