netlink-notify ============== **Notify about netlink changes** This runs in background and produces notifications whenever a netlink event is received. Notifications look like this: A device is down: ![Device down](screenshot-down.png) A device is up: ![Device up](screenshot-up.png) A device received an IP address: ![Device received IP address](screenshot-ip.png) A device received an IPv6 address: ![Device received IPv6 address](screenshot-ipv6.png) A device disappeared: ![Device disappeared](screenshot-away.png) Requirements ------------ To compile and run `netlink-notify` you need: * [libnotify](http://library.gnome.org/devel/notification-spec/) * [linux](http://www.kernel.org/) * [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (HTML documentation) * [inkscape](http://inkscape.sourceforge.net/) (convert icons from SVG to PNG) Some systems may require additional development packages for the libraries. Look for `libnotify-devel` or similar. Build and install ----------------- Building and installing is very easy. Just run: > make followed by: > make install This will place an executable at `/usr/bin/netlink-notify`, documentation can be found in `/usr/share/doc/netlink-notify/`. Additionally a desktop file is installed to `/etc/xdg/autostart/`, this automatically starts the program when logged in to a desktop environment. Usage ----- Just run `netlink-notify` after installation or re-login to desktop environment for autostart.
