hello, new to working with confd, i would like to create an rpc and create the corresponding executable/reigister actionpoint which will be sending confd notification, and a process will listen to them and process them.  
so basically send a notification on demand, whenever the rpc is invoked  
is notification sending typically done in rpc/actions?

Is the process that will consume the ConfD notification doing something with the ConfD DB (cdb)?  
If not, you can send any type of event notification to the process. No need to send the notification through ConfD.  
You can do whatever in an rpc/action, although setting CDB configuration data (CDB operational data is ok) should not be done through an action/rpc.You should use, for example, the NETCONF edit-config RPC for that.
