=Smilies

This library consists of a notification server for linux desktops and a
correspondent ruby client API. It further contains a binary named *smile*
which runs a given shell command and reports its output and return status.

=Installation

You have to install first:
* notification-daemon >= 0.3.7
* RNotify.rb >= 0.3.3

Install the *smilies* gem itself by the following command:

  $ gem install --source=http://gems.github.com armin-joellenbeck-smilies

=Usage

Start the notification server as follows:

  $ smilies

Then run the binary *smile* with a command line as parameter, for example:

  $ smile rake

You get a notification if the command line has passed or failed with the
last line of its output (STDOUT and STDERR together).
The full output is printed to STDOUT of the notification server.

For writing a client for the *smilies* notification server see the binary
*smile*:

  :include:bin/smile
