Question about notifications

[ovizii]

I currently run dockcheck with these parameters:

dockcheck.sh -m -a -d 7 -f -t 60

If I add -i and properly configure notify.sh when will I get notifications? Upon installed updates, upon existing updates or when no updates are available? Is this configurable somehow?

Good question and I should probably clarify some things in the readme!

the -i option will send a notification when it lists currently available updates, so if run with -a it'll send a notification and then continue with updating them.

It's not customizable unless you modify the code - it's just a function getting called with list of currently available updates as argument send_notification "${GotUpdates[@]}" .
Then that function differ depending on what notify.sh plugin you're using. But the content is the same.

If you'd like to experiment you could add a 2ndary function to your notify.sh like send_notification_post () and write your custom code as you wish and then call that function later in the script.

I'd gladly help and test if you've got a suggestion that might be interesting for others too!
