+====== libnotify ======
+With a Ubuntu client you can use its notification framework to tell how the backup went.
+Look at the following script:
+<file>
+#!/bin/bash
+BACKUPLOG="/home/tdd/backup.log"
+su tdd -c "/usr/bin/notify-send 'Backup Start...'" 2>&1 > $BACKUPLOG
+rsync -avzgr --stats /home/tdd /boot /etc \

+tdd@172.21.1.1:/media/disk/backup 2>&1 > $BACKUPLOG
+echo $?
+if [ $? -eq 0 ]
+then
+	NUMBEROFFILES=`grep "Number of files transferred" $BACKUPLOG |awk -F ':' '{print $2}'`
+	su tdd -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/notify-send 'Backup Succesful Completed - $NUMBEROFFILES tranferred'"
+else
+	su tdd -c "DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/notify-send 'Backup Failed...'"
+fi

+After running this script a notification is display on the screen telling either how many files were backup'ed or that it failed.
