question to q4osteam - detecting when update manager icon is in systray #3

Closed seb3773 closed 10 months ago

seb3773 commented 11 months ago

What I want is to detect the presence of the update manager icon in systray (not the fact that updates are availables, but only when update-manager is notifying there are updates availables) from a bash script. Is it possible ?

q4osteam commented 10 months ago

As far as we know, there is no way available. We could add such an feature on our todo list, if you wish.

For now, I'm doing it with xdotool, it works, but maybe it's not the "right/best" way to do it. What do you think ?

q4osteam commented 10 months ago

Yes, it's not an ideal solution, however it should work well. Unfortunately, it's not possible to check that more clean way, for ex. with dcop tool.

OK. I think I will keep it that way for now, it works well, so no problem after all :)
