NAME

App::BCVI::NotifyClient - Send a notification message back to the user's desktop

DESCRIPTION

This module is a plugin for bcvi (see: App::BCVI). It uses the notify command to send a message back for display on the user's desktop. This plugin assumes a plugin back on the workstation will route the message to the desktop notification applet or use some other mechanism to bring it to the attention of the user. The App::BCVI::NotifyDesktop plugin is one implementation of the workstation-end of the protocol.

The plugin registers the bnotify alias as:

alias bnotify="bcvi --no-path-xlate -c notify"

This alias might be used to signal the user that a long-running process has completed on a remote server, for example:

pg_dump intranet >intranet.dump ; bnotify "Database dump is finished!"
