PushText

Command line tool for Pushover

Installation:

Download the archive
Run chmod +x push_text.py
Move push_text.py to /usr/local/bin or somewhere else in $PATH

Configuration:

If you run push_text.py without any setup it will ask for your API token and your user key.
The user key is on your user page.
You must create an application with Pushover in order to send messages.
See Pushover Apps for more information.

Examples:

The simplest example would be to let you know when something finishes on your computer. $> make ; make install ; push_text.py --title "make" --message "Done compiling."
The above will result in this on your phone:

You could also use it to let you know if something breaks. $> some script ; if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then push_text.py -m "Oops, you bwoke it." ; fi

Send your Todo.txt list daily:

$> crontab -l | grep push_text.py
30 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/push_text.py --title "Todo" -m "`/usr/local/bin/todo ls`" -d iphone

The possibilities are endless! (As long as the possibilities only include sending messages to your phone.)
