+*Running Custom Commands*
+
+By default ``notify-send`` is used to send notifications on Linux and ``osascript`` is used on MacOSX.
+However the command that is executed can be configured by setting the ``AUTO_NOTIFY_COMMAND`` variable.
+Specify where the text should be placed using the ``%text`` marker. An example can be seen below:
+
+::
+
+    export AUTO_NOTIFY_COMAND="my-fancy-notifier -rd -t20 \"%text\""
