In my office environment I need to send a GUI pop-up message to all of the Ubuntu desktop clients in my network.

Is there any application I can use to do this?

You could send via SSH a notify popup, assuming sshpass is installed on the host and ssh/notify on both host/client

sshpass -p password ssh -X user@10.0.0.5 "DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "My message...""

where you'd substitute your own password, user, IP address and message.

  • But "notify" is a GUI popup ;-) and `notify-send -i {deal.ico} {message}` will also use an icon in front of the message. – Rinzwind Oct 07 '15 at 06:52
