Wrapper for unison - show notifications via libnotify

Unisonotify

A small wrapper script for unison that uses libnotify to indicate when unison started and how it completed.

The script can be called via cron or anacron to automate data synchronisation.

Preview

Preview 1 (Ubuntu)

Preview 2 (Ubuntu)

Installation

The only requirement for the main script is unison (should be on the system PATH) and the python-notify package.

On ubuntu or debian run:

apt-get install python-notify unison

Create unison profiles for the folders you want to synchronize and optionally add scripts to /etc/cron.hourly to automatically run the synchronisation with anacron:

#!/bin/sh
# run unison sync as user foo for profile bar
sudo -u foo -H /home/foo/.local/bin/Unisonotify/unisonotify.py bar
