Add shell script notifier

[sjoerdj]

Thanks for this great tool!

Would it be possible to add a shell script notifier that for example could kick off notification via e.g. Yowsup?

[SCRIPT] enabled = true script_file = yowsup_notify.sh

I imagine that the yowsup_notify.sh then could look as follows:

#!/bin/bash

# yowsup settings TempFileDir="/tmp/" WhatsappPath="/usr/local/bin/" WhatsappHomePath="/root/.config/yowsup/" WhatsappConfigFile=$WhatsappHomePath"491612345678/config.json" WhatsappRecipient1=491712345678

# send WhatsApp message yowsup-cli demos -c $WhatsappConfigFile -s $WhatsappRecipient1 "${display_name}\n${currency} ${price}\n${items_available} bags available"

Such a script notifier would allow for working with scanner data in a very flexible way, I'd think.

Hi @sjoerdj. That's a nice idea indeed. But as I am very busy at the moment, it may take some time until I have the resources to elaborate and implement this feature. Wouldn't you like to try to implement it yourself and contribute to the project? I would be happy to review your code and support you if you have any issues.

Hi @Der-Henning,

Thanks for your message. I am a newbie to programming, but I managed to complete the script file:

#!/bin/bash ` # yowsup settings TempFileDir="/tmp/" WhatsappPath="/usr/local/bin/" WhatsappHomePath="/root/.config/yowsup/" WhatsappConfigFile=$WhatsappHomePath"491612345678/config.json" WhatsappRecipient1=491712345678 # obtain data from command line while getopts n:a: option do case "${option}" in n) display_name=${OPTARG};; a) items_available=${OPTARG};; esac done # build WhatsApp message read -r -d '' WhatsappMessage << EOM ${display_name} ${items_available} bag(s) available EOM # send WhatsApp message yowsup-cli demos -c $WhatsappConfigFile -s $WhatsappRecipient1 "$WhatsappMessage"`

As you can see, my idea is to pass the data via command options and arguments as soon as a scanned bag becomes available:

[SCRIPT] enabled = true command = bash whatsapp_notify.sh -n "${{display_name}}" -a ${{items_available}}

I gave the related coding in tgtg a try: sample.env src/config.sample.ini src/notifiers/notifiers.py scr/notifiers/script.py scr/models/errors.py
