Configuration

The program requires a writeable directory "~/.preisagent" and a file "preisagent.ini" inside.

Sending mail

When invoked with parameter "-m MAIL", the tool will send an email from/to MAIL whenever the price drops. This requires a working SMTP server listening at localhost.

Telegram suppoort

When invoked with parameter -t BOT CHAT, it will send a telegram message using the bot wwith token BOT and chat-id CHAT.

Signal suppoort

When invoked with parameter -s Group-ID, it will send a signal message to group Group_ID. This requires https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli configured and running as a system-dbus service. For now, this uses the first account configured with signal-cli.
