# notify\_touchy
## Purpose
A fork of [i3status-touchy](https://github.com/Bandie/i3status-touchy).
A service which checks the return code of a program/script and notifies you if it has a bad return code.
In i3status-touchy there will be a file created. This doesn't happen here anymore. Instead it uses libnotify.
## Installation
You need gcc or something similar. There is a *not finished* systemd servicefile included.
To compile and install it you may want to do the following within this project directory:
```
make
sudo make install
```
