A fork of 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

Syntax

notify_touchy ( arguments )

It checks if a program has a specific return code within some time. If it has not a notification will appear.

Arguments:

-h, --help                         Shows this here.
-p, --program [program or script]  Executes and checks this program for the return code. (Required)
-r, --return [return code]         Listen to this return code. (Default: 0)
-s, --sleep [seconds]              Interval of when the next check should start. (Default: 20)
-v, --verbose                      Show some unnecessary stuff.

notify_touchy --help will tell you the same btw.
