notify-push 0.0.3

Push notifications straight to your phone using multiple services

notify-push is a CLI tool to push notifications straight to your phone.

The usual sysadmin method is to send alerts via email but there are tons of services out there with mobile apps that allow us to send push notifications, why not use those for faster and cleaners alerts?

Installation

Simply use pip to install it system-wide:

$ sudo pip install git+https://github.com/fopina/notify-push/

Or only for your user

$ pip install --user git+https://github.com/fopina/notify-push/

Usage

$ notify-push -h

  --list-services
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        use this configuration file instead of ~/.notifypush
  --version             show program's version number and exit

Currently supported services are:

$ notify-push --list-services

An example of configuration file ~/.notifypush:

Pushing messages is now as simple as:

$ notify-push hello world
Pushed

Or using stdin (useful for shell piping):

$ notify-push
Press ctrl-D when done
hello world
Pushed
$ echo hello world | notify-push
Press ctrl-D when done
Pushed

You can also use it easily from other python scripts:

>>> import notifypush
>>> print notifypush.push('hello world')
True
