Allow cross-type communication Sending notifications is possible from - manifest - gencode-local - gencode-remote Sending a notification from an object means writing to the file "notifications" into its object: echo mytest >> "$__object/notifications" # a type reports something Reading / Reacting on notifications works by accessing the file referred to be "$__notifications". All notifications are prefixed with the object name ($__object_name) and are appended into this file. To find out, whether a file was copied, run: grep __file/etc/passwd:copy "$__notifications"
