.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\f[B]docker_check\f[R] checks a list of docker containers and notifies
if their state is not up and running.
It comes with systemd services.
.PP
By default, \f[B]docker_check\f[R] tries to read from
\f[I]$HOME/.docker_check.conf\f[R] and \f[I]/etc/docker_check.conf\f[R]
for configuration.
It will exit with a non-zero exit code if it cannot find a proper
configuration file.
.PP
The following are at least required for the script to work:
.PD 0
.P
.PD
- \f[B]DOCKER_CHECK_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.

- \f[B]DOCKER_CHECK_LIST_FILE=\[lq]$HOME/.docker_check.list\[rq]\f[R]
which lists to be checked docker containers separated by lines.
Provide their container name, e.g.\ output of current running docker
containers piped into the file: \f[I]docker ps \[en]format `{{.Names}}'
