App::BCVI::NotifyClient - Send a notification message back to the user's desktop

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Send a message to the desktop notifications widget on your workstation:

  $ long-running-command; bnotify "long-running-command has finished"

or fork a background monitor to advise you when a subsequent command pauses for

  $ bnotify -i
  Starting background process to monitor /dev/pts/0 for 5 second idle period
  $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a plugin for C<bcvi> (see: L<App::BCVI>).  It uses the C<notify>
command to send a message back for display on the user's desktop.  This plugin
assumes a plugin back on the workstation will route the message to the desktop
notification applet or use some other mechanism to bring it to the attention of
the user.  The L<App::BCVI::NotifyDesktop> plugin is one implementation of the
workstation-end of the protocol.

The plugin registers the C<bnotify> alias as:

  alias bnotify="bcvi --no-path-xlate -c notify"

This alias might be used to signal the user that a long-running process has
completed on a remote server, for example:
