dunstify: Show a notification with specified urgency.
$ dunstify "${Title}" "${Message}" -u ${select}
try on your machine

The command dunstify "${Title}" "${Message}" -u ${select} is used to display a notification using the Dunst notification system in Linux. Let's break down the individual components:

  • dunstify: This is the command to display a notification using Dunst.
  • "${Title}": This represents the title of the notification, enclosed within double quotes. You can replace ${Title} with an actual title you want to display.
  • "${Message}": This represents the body or content of the notification, enclosed within double quotes. You can replace ${Message} with the actual message you want to display.
  • -u ${select}: This specifies the urgency level of the notification, where ${select} is a variable representing the urgency level. The -u flag is used to define the urgency level and ${select} is the value passed to it. The urgency level can be one of low, normal, or critical, which indicates the priority of the notification.

So overall, this command is used to create and display a notification using Dunst, specifying the title, message, and urgency level of the notification.
