Re: [Astlinux-devel] Mail API

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

One of the enhancements I made in my fork was to add a system-notify
script.  This lets me consolidate into one place all "outbound"
notifications which could be Email, Pushover, SMS, whatever.  This
adding/changing how a notification is sent can be done in one place.  I
updated all services that had their own Email notification code to use this
instead.

https://github.com/dkerr64/astlinux/blob/master/project/astlinux/target_skeleton/usr/sbin/system-notify

And in my rc.conf (for example)...

SYSTEM_NOTIFY da...@ke...
SYSTEM_NOTIFY_FROM pb...@ke...
PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN atuwaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxob2jce
PUSHOVER_USER_KEY uknjvgxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxgnuec5
PUSHOVER_API https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json
PUSHOVER_IP 104.20.42.236
SMS_CMD /mnt/kd/bin/LB1120
SMS_URL 192.168.5.1
SMS_PW ExxxxxxxC
SMS_TO +1203xxxxx92
NOTIFY_PUSHOVER_UPSMON yes
NOTIFY_PUSHOVER_WANFAILOVER yes
NOTIFY_PUSHOVER_ACME yes
NOTIFY_PUSHOVER_SSHD yes

So, with my fork, a change to use Mailgun can be done in one place, and all
services would use.
