A shell script to alert to any immediate problems upon login. It is intended to be installed in /usr/local/bin/quickstatus.sh Put it in your .bash_profile to get a status every time you log in. Use "/usr/local/bin/quickstatus.sh -q" for headless mode Install as a cron job for basic system monitoring that will send a ntfy.sh push if there are any anomalies. Run "quickstatus.sh 0 test" (the first argument can by anything, or -q) to test notifications

Quickstatus can be configured to retry on failures with a third argument. Running

quickstatus -q 0 3

will cause quickstatus to run in headless mode (-q), 0 for production rather than testing, and 3 for three retries. If a service is found to be down, it will rerun in 5 seconds with one less retry until either all services are up or else the retries are exhausted. The exception is CPU load: If there is a CPU alert, it is sent immediately without doing any retries.
