Configuration

Configuration files can be placed in /etc/pushover/pushover-config, in the user's home directory at $HOME/.pushover/pushover-config, or in the root of this repository. The options are processed in order of importance for location. You can copy pushover-config-dist to pushover-config in any of these places.

1) Options in /etc/pushover/pushover-config are processed first 2) Options in $HOME/.pushover/pushover-config are processed next 3) Options in ./pushover-config are processed next 4) Command line arguments override all configuration values

The default configuration is empty and contains the following:

api_token=
user_key=
device=
url=
url_title=
priority=
title=
sound=

NOTE: If you have a value defined in /etc/default/ and also have overrides in $HOME/.pushover/ all empty options in $HOME/.pushover/ must not exist in the file. For example, I have the following configuration in /etc/default/

api_token=my-app-api-token
user_key=my-user-key
device=
url=
url_title="I want all URLs to have this title"
priority=
title="this is a generic title"
sound=

If I want to override only title for a specific user, the configuration in $HOME/.pushover/ will look like this

title="title for specific user"
