Install

Remember to have the $GOPATH/bin on your $PATH

go get -u github.com/jcatala/gqm
mkdir ~/.config/gqm/
vim ~/.config/gqm/gqm.ini

The config file must be something like this:

apikey        = YOUR TOKEN THAT BOTHFATHERS GIVES TO YOU

The gqm will automatically update the chat_id on the config file, that must match the last update from the bot. Sometimes the bot does not have new updates, so you can't rely on the updates to get the chat id, that's the reason why I save it on the config file.

Usage

$ gqm -h
Usage of gqm:
  -debugInfo
        To get debug information
  -follow
        To keep the stdin open
  -markdown
        Force markdown on the entire message, if is not, do it by yourself adding backquotes
  -verbose
        To be verbose

Use cases

# To get a response without markdown
echo "123 test without markdown" | gqm -verbose

# To get a response with forced markdown
echo "123 test with markdown" | gqm -verbose -markdown

# To make the stdin open to get constant updates
tail -f "dns.log"  | grep --line-buffered "domain" | gqm -follow
