dunstify: Show a notification with a given title and message.
$ dunstify "${Title}" "${Message}"
try on your machine

The command dunstify "${Title}" "${Message}" is used to send a notification using the dunst notification daemon.

Here's what each part of the command does:

  • dunstify: This is the command used to send a notification using dunst.
  • "${Title}": This is a variable that represents the title of the notification. Depending on how the command is used, ${Title} should be replaced with the actual title.
  • "${Message}": This is another variable that represents the message or content of the notification. As with ${Title}, ${Message} should be replaced with the actual message you want to display in the notification.

To use this command, you need to replace ${Title} and ${Message} with your desired values. For example, if you want to display a notification with the title "Alert" and the message "You have a new email", you would execute: dunstify "Alert" "You have a new email"
