# udev-block-notify

Notify about udev block events

This runs in background and produces notifications whenever udev (or systemd) receives an event about a block device. Notifications look like this:

## Requirements

To compile and run `udev-block-notify` you need:

- libnotify
- systemd (or `udev` which has been merge into `systemd`)
- markdown (HTML documentation)
- `gnome-icon-theme` and `gnome-icon-theme-extras` (or anything else that includes the required media icons)

Some systems may require additional development packages for the libraries. Look for `libnotify-devel`, `systemd-devel`, `libudev-devel` or similar.

## Build and install

Building and installing is very easy. Just run:

> make

followed by:

> make install

This will place an executable at `/usr/bin/udev-block-notify`, documentation can be found in `/usr/share/doc/udev-block-notify/`. Additionally a desktop file is installed to `/etc/xdg/autostart/`, this automatically starts the program when logged in to a desktop environment.

## Usage

Just run `udev-block-notify` after installation or re-login to desktop environment for autostart.
