I also was using this to pass along info to users of updates or uploads to there work stations, I find if you use -t 0 in the mix it requires them to press the x to kill the message.

i am quite wrong so i had to rewrite whole script. looks like .sh file + bash asdf.sh + aliases = boom so my script looks like this:

apt-get update > apt-update-\`date\`-.txt && apt-get upgrade > apt-upgrade-\`date\`.txt ; notify-send “Done! `if [ \$? = 0 ]; then echo \:\); else echo \:\(; fi`”
