I wrote a script which starts from init.d .When it finishes I need it to notify-send a message to me (I am running GNOME). I tried

export DISPLAY=:0.0

but it doesn't work.

Is there any way to do this?

`notify-send` uses DBus, so you'll probably need to set the `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` environment variable as well. – jw013 Dec 29 '11 at 02:53

Here is an example script calling notify-send from udev http://hackaday.com/2009/09/18/how-to-write-udev-rules/ – Grzegorz Wierzowiecki Aug 25 '12 at 09:05
Another example is under the question [How to make notify-send work on /etc/init.d/a_script](http://superuser.com/a/837491/61370) – pabouk - Ukraine stay strong Nov 08 '14 at 08:57
