Introduction

This package allows scripts launched by systemd to send information and heartbeats (watchdog events) to the systemd notification system.

Use this library if...

You have a script that is started as a service by systemd, and you want systemd to restart the service when it develops an error, or

You have a long running script and want to provide a status description viewable by the systemctl status myservice command.

Do not use this library if...

• The system is not run by SystemD (e.g. FreeBSD, Windows, ...)
• Your service is not going to be started by Systemd

In this library

Three classes are provided to interact with the notification service:

1. Notify is the general purpose implementation.
2. NotifyHeartbeat is ideal for applications that only send heartbeats
3. NotifyFluent has the same methods as Notify but all the setters are fluent.
