dunstify: Specify a message ID (overwrites any previous messages with the same ID).
$ dunstify "${Title}" "${Message}" -r ${123}
try on your machine

This command is using the "dunstify" command-line tool to display a desktop notification.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • dunstify: This is the command that executes the "dunstify" tool.

  • "${Title}" and "${Message}": These are placeholders for the title and message of the notification. The "${Title}" and "${Message}" variables will be replaced with the actual values before executing the command.

  • -r ${123}: This specifies the ID of the notification being created. The -r flag is used to set the ID and ${123} is the value assigned to it. The ID is usually used to manipulate or close the notification later if needed.

In summary, this command takes a title and message as arguments and creates a desktop notification using the "dunstify" tool, with a specific ID assigned to it.
