I have a script that notify me when some thing is modified on a directory.

I need to make indicator that takes over the notifications instead of pop up at my screen. I want the notifications to be displayed using this indicator.

So basically the question is devided into two parts:

  1. How to make my own indicator?
  2. How to redirect the notifications to be displayed on the indicator?

Using Ubuntu 12.04

  • I don't understand what you mean by an indicator.

  • @GabrielF They are the stuffs found in the right top corner of Ubuntu such as sound indicator and chat .... Those are called indicators

  • Oh, sorry... I probably should have googled. Now, I believe you'll need to write a small application to do what you need. Do you have experience with any programming language? If you do, the official documentation should probably be enough to help you: developer.ubuntu.com/resources/technologies/…. If you don't, I can try to help you, but only after I got home.

  • @GabrielF I have a little bit knowledge of programming but a help of others is much better

    I looked at the script. I'm not sure you need an indicator, I think you just don't want that clickable pop-up. Won't you be happy with a solution using ubuntu's notification system, like this ?
