I'm quite confused about notifications in #sxmo, I create the files as specified and they actually make the phone buzz only very rarely (but sometimes!) and only then the diode turns green. They do show up in the notification menu though, so they are not completely wrong.
I know that the monitoring script has quite obvious async bugs, but it seems to work for smses and some other sxmo-initiated notifications pretty consistently, so I'm confused...
Anyway, anyone encountered similar problems?
Oh goodness, I got it, if I create and fill the file in one go it gets ignored, I have to fiddle with it afterwards to trigger #sxmo scripts... how silly.
@timorl Huh? Why?
@timorl Is it only watching for changes to files that exist? Maybe I should write that version of inotify(1) that actually makes sense...
@robryk I don't think the issue is with inotify, it looks as if the sxmo people consciously wrote it ignoring file creation. I haven't seen a good reason for that, but I really hope one exists.
