How to use cli to post to remote server

[el-davo]

Hi Sorry for opening another issue. This is more of a general query around the cli use. Is there a way to send a message to a remote server using the cli. for example maybe something like

notify -t title -m message --host=10.74.55.66 --port=23053

[el-davo]

Hello. I still cant get this to work. It seems to always send to localhost. I have installed the latest version and used the cmd below

notify --host 10.73.66.153 --port 23053 -m "test" -t "title"

Hi! It hit's me that I've might misunderstood the requirement here. You are trying to pass host and port to a Growl implementation, yes?

[el-davo]

Yes the way i have this setup is i have growl running on a remote server. I then want to send a notification to that server which in turns sends a notification out to all subscribers of that server. But trying the command above i do see a notification bubble on my local machine but not on the remote server

I don't have Growl on this machine so I can't test from end-to-end, but when I try running:

notify --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3000 -m Hello

And right before the notification is sent I print out the host and port, I get 127.0.0.1:3000, which is what I expect.

Do you get any error? You are sure you are running node-notifier@4.6.0 (verify by using npm ls node-notifier).

[el-davo]

Yep i have the latest version - 4.6.0. Didn't see any errors either.

I can do some debugging and get back to you.

Also its just the cli im talking about the node implementation works perfecto and have been using it for a long time now!!

Would be great if you could do some digging 👍 You could try printing out options in the Growl constructor function, inside checkGrowl in checkGrowl.js and inside notify in the Growly package
