Configuration
You will need a gmail account first of all. Make sure that you don't have "two steps authentication" enable.
You need to configure two environment variables:
- NOTIFY_MAIL_ACCOUNT is the mail account used for sending the mails.
- NOTIFY_MAIL_PASSWORD is the account's password.
export NOTIFY_MAIL_ACCOUNT=direction@gmail.com
export NOTIFY_MAIL_PASSWORD=your_password
How to Use
Send with body content
notify-mail -recipient="email_address@email_provider.com" -subject="Notification" -message="Your message"
Send with template
Template example:
<html>
<body>
<p1>Hi {{var1}}</p1>
<p1>Here goes the second variable: {{var2}}</p1>
</body>
</html>
notify-mail -recipient="email_address@email_provider.com" -subject="Notification" -template="/path/to/template.html" -variables="{{var1}}=value of var1,{{var2}}=value of var2"
The placeholders var1 and var2 in the template will be replaced by the values given in the variables parameter.
In the example above var1 will be replaced by the text value of var1 and var2 will be replaced by value of var2.
How to remove
# apt-get remove notify-mail
