Hi SamK
Does:

Code: [Select]

ldd `which flnotify`report anything?

[SamK]

Can't reproduce, I see it fine on 4.7.3:

The problem is present depending upon the WM used.

Booting in cloud mode via CorePlus-4.7.3.iso, downloading flnotify, issuing command

Code: [Select]

flnotify -c "Hi There"produces the following results:

Success
FLWM Topside
JWM

Failure
Fluxbox
Hackedbox
ICEWM
Openbox

For diagnostic purposes you could check what happens without a WM with something like:

Code: [Select]

Xvesa :1 -screen 640x480x8 & flnotify -display :1 test
Needs to be run from a VT, not X
For shortscreens geometry may need adaption

I gave flnotify some much needed updates. Please test the latest version, seems to work fine here on fluxbox.

[SamK]

Please test the latest version...

Tested by booting in cloud mode via CorePlus-4.7.3.iso.  All WMs produced a notifcation as expected.  Thanks.

One issue is seen when downloading flnotify for each WM test.  Apps-->Status field consistently reports "flnotify Failed.".  Despite the message, the app successfully downloads and is able to be manually loaded.

Thanks, that one should be ok now too.
