Hi all, I'm resurrecting some shell scripts I wrote years ago, that use the "smbclient -M"/linpopup mechanism to display message pop-ups on the desktop. The scripts are meant to be run as cron jobs and won't be able to connect to the X server directly. I want to get away from SMB, firstly because linpopup isn't a FC component, secondly because I don't want to depend on Samba being installed and running. What are the preferred mechanisms in FC5 to achieve this? Something around DBus? What would be a typical tool chain? I admit I'm a bit overwhelmed atm by the DBus docs (and my failure to get examples from man pages to work). Cheers Steffen.
