CHANGELOG

From 1.3.2:
  1. –detach for run command as detached process (stdout is still the same, but parent of process is system dependant)

  2. –wait-for-pids wait for one or more processes then run cmd

  3. add new backend: win10toast-persist

  4. fix backends priorities on Win

  5. fix ‘null’ dbus interface on some Linux configurations

  6. detect WSL (Win) but do not support it yet

NON-INSTALL

It is one-file script so you can download and use it. You can also run it from sources without any dependancies* (need only python and maybe some modules delivered with it [or not])

* - Windows needs some modules to work, see setup.py for details. On 2020-03-08 they are: python -m install psutil win10toast-persist

INTERFACE

There are one kind of interfaces: CLI.

If you think there is a need to have lib/module to please let me know why. Maybe there is a reason.

CLI

CLI is Command Line Interface. So you have tool called: nf

$ python nf.py --help
usage: nf.py [-h] [-l LABEL] [-p] [-n] [-s] [-w WAIT_FOR_PID] [--detach]
            [-b {paramiko,ssh,dbus,gdbus,notify-send,termux-notification,win10toast-persist,win10toast,plyer,plyer_toast,stdout}]
            [-v] [-d] [--debugfile DEBUGFILE]
            [--custom_notification_text CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION_TEXT]
            [--custom_notification_title CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION_TITLE]
            [--custom_notification_exit_code CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION_EXIT_CODE]

nf make
nf ls
nf ls not_exist_file
nf sleep 2
nf -l sleeping sleep 2
nf -l `tty` ls
nf "ls | grep .py"
nf --detach sleep 15
nf -w 55555 ls
nf -w 55555 --detach echo Finished

LIMITATIONS

  1. Work with Jython: it does not have dbus module, fallback to command line.

  2. Observed in KDE: notification with the same body (text) can be dropped. To avoid that I add timestamp text to make nofitications unique.

FEATURES

  1. Support Android notification by termux-notifications (of course by termux)

  2. Support dbus by python module or fallback to notify-send (part of libnotify 0.7.7 or 0.7.8)

  3. Option to print notification on stdout.

  4. Option to save full command line and stat to file into working directory.

  5. Support whole python implementations/versions (at least not crash and print on stdout)

  6. Case SSH: If you are over SSH send notification over backward-SSH connection to your native system (force password)

  7. Supported notification backends: paramiko (ssh), ssh, dbus, notify-send, termux-notification (Android), win10toast (Windows),plyer, plyer_toast, stdout

  8. yakuake/konsole terminal tab name in label

  9. screen/tmux session/window/pane title/name in label

  10. Python module aka library interface “import nf;nf.nf([‘ls’])”

TMUX/SCREEN used by nf or how to test it

1. tmux session name: .. code-block:: bash

tmux rename-session sesja tmux list-sessions -F “#{session_name}”

2. tmux window name: .. code-block:: bash

tmux rename-window okno tmux list-window -F “#{window_name} #{window_active}”

3. tmux pane name: .. code-block:: bash

printf ‘033]2;%s033' ‘this is a title’ tmux list-pane -F “#{pane_title} #{pane_active}”

4. client pid to get parent (for example: yakuake) .. code-block:: bash

tmux display-message -p “#{client_pid}”

5. screen sessions: .. code-block:: bash

screen -list There are screens on: 7842.pts-30.nic (Attached) 6981.pts-25.nic (Attached) 2 Sockets in /tmp/screens/S-nic.

6. screen window title .. code-block:: bash

screen -S 6981.pts-25.nic -Q title terefere

7. screen windows: .. code-block:: bash

screen -S 6981.pts-25.nic -Q windows 0* terefere 1 bash 2 bash 3- bash

TODO

nf 1.5.0

  1. –try-version=1.3.2 - download (need Internet connection), put in home directory and use it instead of installed version

  2. –try-version=dev - latest git version to tests

  3. $HOME/.nf directory and “versions” subdir to downloaded versions

  4. WSL support
