#! /bin/bash

# Create a naughty awesome wm notification by title
# and message on secondary (big) screen

# init env for cron/at execution
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
export DISPLAY=:0

# check input
if [ "$#" -ne 2 ]; then
    echo "usage: naughty-send title message"
    exit 1
fi

# parse input
TITLE=$1
MSG=$2

# init naughty
/usr/bin/echo "naughty = require(\"naughty\")" | /usr/bin/awesome-client

# feed awesome-client
/usr/bin/echo "naughty.notify({title = \"$TITLE\", text = \"$MSG\", screen =  screens, timeout = 0})" | /usr/bin/awesome-client

Just in case someone is interested, two functions that can be used in conjunction to show and the hide a naughty notification from bash:

initString="naughty = require(\"naughty\");"

notifyString="notification = naughty.notify({ title = \"Achtung\", text = \"You're idling\", timeout = 0 }); return(notification.id);"

NotificationId=""

notifyUser()
{
   answer=`echo $initString $notifyString | awesome-client`

   NotificationId=`echo $answer | sed -e 's/^[[:blank:]]*//' | cut -d' ' -f 2`

   # echo "Notification requested. Answer: [$answer]. Notification id: [$NotificationId]"

}

removeNotification()
{

   getByIdString="
      function getById(id)
         -- iterate the notifications to get the notfications with the correct ID
         for p,pos in pairs(naughty.notifications[1]) do
            for i,notification in pairs(naughty.notifications[1][p]) do
               if notification.id == id then
                  return notification
               end
            end
         end
      end
   "
   destroyString="naughty.destroy(getById($NotificationId));"

   echo "$initString $getByIdString $destroyString" | awesome-client

}

notifyUser
removeNotificatio
```n

Only works for notifications on first screen, which is the one notification appears by defaults.
Hope this help.
Cheers.
