.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\f[B]systemd_failure_notify\f[R] [CONFIG_FILE (absolute path)] [service
name]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\f[B]systemd_failure_notify\f[R] executes \f[I]mailx\f[R] or
\f[I]gotify\f[R] to send out notifications.
It comes with systemd services.
Use the provided systemd service in the \f[B]OnFailure\f[R] directive
with \f[I]OnFailure=systemd_failure_notify\[at]%n.service\f[R].
.PP
If no \f[I]CONFIG_FILE\f[R] is provided,
\f[B]systemd_failure_notify\f[R] tries to read from
\f[I]$HOME/.systemd_failure_notify.conf\f[R] and
\f[I]/etc/systemd_failure_notify.conf\f[R] for configuration.
It will exit with a non-zero exit code if it cannot find an proper
configuration file.
.PP
The following are at least required for the script to work:
.PD 0
.P
.PD
- \f[B]SYSTEMD_FAILURE_NOTIFY_MAIL_ADDRESS=\[lq]\[lq]\f[R] which
requires \f[I]mail.rc\f[R] to be configured and `\f[I]mailx\f[R]'
command has be available\[ac]
.PP
By default, \f[B]SYSTEMD_FAILURE_NOTIFY_MAIL_ENABLED\f[R] is set to
\f[B]true\f[R].
Set it to \f[B]false\f[R] to use \f[I]gotify\f[R] only.\[ac]
.PP
The following are optional and integrate gotify-cli to send
notifications, it defaults to false: -
SYSTEMD_FAILURE_NOTIFY_GOTIFY_ENABLED=\[lq]true\[rq] // `gotify' command
has be available and needs to be properly configured by having a
cli.json file
.PP
You can copy this script to \f[I]/usr/local/bin\f[R] and use create a
custom \f[B]CONFIG_FILE\f[R] as user.

.PP
Create a \f[I]$HOME/.systemd_failure_notify.conf\f[R] and add
