Usage: docker_check [CONFIG_FILE (absolute path)]

If no CONFIG_FILE is given, HOME/.docker_check.conf or /etc/docker_check.conf is used. This fallback option
has to exist or the script will exit.

Configuration can be done in any file and any pre-defined variable can be overwritten.

The following are optional or have reasonable defaults:
DOCKER_CHECK_LIST_FILE="HOME/.docker_check.list" // the list file (output current running to file: docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' >> $HOME/.docker_check.list)
DOCKER_CHECK_NOTIFY_LEVELS=("UNKNOWN" "WARNING" "CRITICAL") // when to notify/output/send mail. possible: "UNKNOWN" "WARNING" "CRITICAL" "INFO", should at least be ()
DOCKER_CHECK_MAIL_ENABLED=false // send email (address has to be set), values: false|true
DOCKER_CHECK_MAIL_ADDRESS="" // mail.rc has to be configured

You can copy this script to '/usr/local/bin' and use create a custom CONFIG_FILE as user. Examples can be found in '/usr/share/doc/<scriptname>'.
