pushover-client-perl

This is a simple pushover.net client for sending push messages from the command line to devices that have the Pushover app installed.

Requirements

• Pushover.net account
• Pushover.net app token
• Device with the pushover device client installed
• Perl
• Perl modules:
• LWP::UserAgent
• Getopt::Std

Usage

Usage: pushover.pl [options]

Required command-line arguments:  
-a APP_TOKEN        Your application's token  
-k USER_KEY         Your User token  
-m MESSAGE          The message you want to send  

Optional command-line arguments:
-t TITLE            The title of your message  
-d DEVICE           Send the message only to DEVICE  
-u URL              A URL to send  
-r URL_TITLE        Optional title for the URL  
-h                  The message is high priority - bypass quiet hours. Equivalent to -p 1  
-s UNIX_TIMESTAMP   Unix timestamp of the message 
-b SOUND            The Sound file to play (see https://pushover.net/api#sounds)
-p PRIORITY         Priority number (-2 to 2 / Lowest to Highest). Overrides -h 
-i                  Use STDIN for message input - useful if you want to have new lines in your message

---

Supplying an application token, a user key and a message is mandatory. The message can be given either as a command line parameter following the -m argument or interactively using the -i argument. The latter case is useful if you want your push message to include new lines

Examples

1. Send a quick message

    pushover.pl -a APP-TOKEN -k USER-KEY -m "Your message"
   

2. Send a multiline message (useful for sending push notifications from Nagios)

    printf "%b" "This message\nwill span several lines.\nAnd \n characters will be converted to new lines!\n" | pushover.pl -a *APP-TOKEN* -k *USER-KEY* -i
