This page describes how to send pop-up messages to NX and X-windows sessions. With the NX sessions, these messages can be accompanied by sound. This was developed using Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty).

Introduction

The Python script below was developed to send pop-up messages with sound to NX and X sessions running on a Ubuntu server. This was developed on a home network consisting of a Ubuntu 7.04 server running FreeNX, and Windows PCs and Ubuntu/Xubuntu PCs running the nomachine NX client or X-Windows. The NX clients are configured to support sound, but the X-windows clients receive only a silent pop-up message.

Dependencies

The script uses gxmessage to send the pop-up messages, and esdplay to transmit a .wav sound file. Gxmessage is a requirement to run the script. Esound needs to be installed if sound functionality is required.

sudo aptitude install gmessage
sudo aptitude install esound

Setting up NX Sessions for Sound

This section is not required to get the script running without sound. If you want to get the script running quickly, you can skip this section, and come back to it later. Follow the FreeNX instructions to install FreeNX on a Ubuntu server. Ensure that esound is installed (see above), and that the esd service is running like so ..

ps -e | grep 'esd'
17249 ?        00:00:00 esd

Download the 'NX Client DEB for Linux' or 'NX client for Windows' from http://www.nomachine.com/download.php and install on your Ubuntu and Windows PCs. In the configuration of the NX client, click on the 'Services' tab, and tick 'Enable Multimedia Support' - this enables sound for the NX client. Each user needs to log onto your Ubuntu server using their NX client, and start System/Preferences/Sound from the panel. They need to choose 'ESD - Enlightened Sound Daemon' for the various sound options. They can test the sound while making these selections.

Creating and Running the Script

Copy the script code below into a file called bcast.py. Ensure that this script is executable by using the chmod command.

chmod 755 bcast.py

The script needs to be run using the sudo prefix if you are not logged in as root.

sudo ./bcast --message "Message" --title "Title" --timeout 0 --sound "wavefile.wav"

The script can be called from within cron jobs that are running using the root account. This is the text that needs to be copied into bcast.py ..
