I guess some pointers to alternatives would be nice.
Currently we use:
etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/edu-notify:# requires python-notify
etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/edu-notify:import pynotify
etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/edu-notify:if not pynotify.init("edu-notify"):
etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/edu-notify:n = pynotify.Notification("ltspfs","%s" % sys.argv[1]+' '+sys.argv[2])
and
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users:# Uses notify-send from libnotify-bin, but could be rewritten to use
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users:# pynotify and python if it is a better idea.
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users:if [ ! -x /usr/bin/notify-send ] ; then # from libnotify-bin
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users: echo "error: unable to find /usr/bin/notify-send" 1>&2
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users: # options for notify-send
share/debian-edu-config/tools/notify-local-users: su $user -m -s /bin/sh -c "notify-send -i ${icon} -t ${timeout} -u ${urgency} '${title}' '${msg}'" \
