Using the XBMC eventserver (an alternative).

A while ago i wrote about how you could send notifications to the xbmc event server through a simple C++ program (Using XBMC event server with rtorrent ). However, today i came across an easier way to do the same thing.

Simply put, all you have to do to get the same functionality as described in my previous blogpost is:

sudo apt-get install xbmc-eventclients-xbmc-send
xbmc-send -a "Notification(Testing,XBMC Command Success.)"

Please check out this blogpost for more information.
