[ubuntu-uk] Sending Gnome popup notifications over a network...

[Josh Blacker]

I believe you are looking for something like notify-send:

notify-send "Title of pop-up" "Text of pop-up"

(screenshot of one at

I suppose you would ssh into a machine and run it from the command-line?
I have no experience of ssh, so couldn't tell you about that, but I've
answered one half at least!

Hope that helps,
Josh
