In the example 3 means message box and sound (1 + 2) and 2 means warning. See the definition in knotifyclient.h (below the declaration of the Instance class) http://tinyurl.com/28sws If you know the window ID of a running application, you can even use passive popup, like KMail can do for "new mail" messages. dcop knotify default notify "" "" "test" "" "" 16 1 39845930 16 means passive popup, 39845930 is the decimal window ID This is highly theoretical as it isn't easy to get the window ID in a script. I think the fromApp parameter, where I used just an empty string, can be used to have this applications Icon in the message.
