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.

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.
