💌 htnotify — ok so hear me out

bestie, this is the manual page for htnotify, living in the General Commands Manual section. She's a little utility from the ht://Dig crew and she is so underrated. Let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

htnotify — sends email notifications about out-dated web pages discovered by htmerge

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

htnotify [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe. Htnotify scans the document database that htmerge created, and for every single page that is out of date, it sends an email message. literally one message per stale page. it's giving "your site is rotting and someone should know" energy. 💀✨

ngl tho, before you just run her — please go look at the ht://Dig notification manual for instructions on how to actually set this service up. the setup matters, bestie. don't skip it. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -b database — specifies an alternative database than what is specified in the configuration file. like, "no bestie, use this one instead." 💅
• -c configfile — use the specified configfile instead of the default.
• -v — Verbose mode. this increases the verbosity of the program. used once, it'll display a log of what email messages were sent. used more than once, it'll display information about each document that has email notification set. the more -v you stack, the more it yaps. 😭🔥

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /etc/htdig/htdig.conf — the default configuration file. the O.G. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

please refer to the HTML pages (in the htdig-doc package) at /usr/share/doc/htdig-doc/html/index.html, plus the manual pages htdig(1) and htmerge(1) for a detailed description of ht://Dig and its commands. iykyk — the docs are right there, go read them. 📚
