Skip notify-send job if screen locked?
I have a cron which runs a script every hour, it uses a notify-send for a notification on the Ubuntu 18.04 desktop (Gnome) once it starts.
What can I add to the script to:
- If screen is locked then exit.
- If screen is not locked then continue as normal with notification.

18.04 uses Unity when upgrading from 16.04 and Unity can be added to any 18.04 installation but, I understand your point.

There is a setting to hide notifications while the lock screen is enabled:
You can also modify this setting via the command line:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.notifications show-in-lock-screen false
But, since you asked, you can also use gdbus on the command line with the --session parameter and org.gnome.ScreenSaver to determine if the screen is locked.
