dunst(1) normally keeps its configuration in
~/.config/dunst/dunstrc, however I run it as
dunst -config "$HOME/.dunstrc" &in my $HOME/.xinit or
$HOME/.xession files in order
to keep consistency with other configuration files.
You can send notifications via notify-send(1)
# pkg_add notify_send$ notify-send --urgency low "hello, world"
$ notify-send --urgency normal "hello, world"
$ notify-send --urgency critical "hello, world"
