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](screenshots/down.png) A device is up: ![Device up](screenshots/up.png) A device received an IP address: ![Device received IP address](screenshots/ip.png) A device received an IPv6 address: ![Device received IPv6 address](screenshots/ipv6.png) A device disappeared: ![Device disappeared](screenshots/away.png) Requirements ------------ To compile and run `netlink-notify` you need: * [systemd](https://www.github.com/systemd/systemd) * [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 systemd unit file is installed to `/usr/lib/systemd/user/`. Usage ----- Just run `netlink-notify` to run it once. A systemd user service can be started and/or enabled with `systemctl --user start netlink-notify` or `systemctl --user enable netlink-notify`. ### Upstream URL: [GitHub.com](https://github.com/eworm-de/netlink-notify) Mirror: [eworm.de](http://git.eworm.de/cgit.cgi/netlink-notify/)
