patrix is a simple command line client for Matrix written in perl. It can send text messages to rooms. I use it to send Zabbix alerts to a Matrix room, a bit like sendxmpp can do with XMPP. It requires the following perl modules * LWP::UserAgent * HTTP::Request * Config::Simple * File::HomeDir * Getopt::Long * JSON For now it's very limited, and can only send messages to a room. Here're the vailable options: * --user: specify the user you want to login as * --password: the password to auth against the HS * --server: the HS you want to connect to. Default is https://matrix.org * --access_token: can be used instead of --user and --password * --room: the room to which the message must be sent * --message: the text message you want to send. If you send something on stdin, it's assumed to be the text to send and this option is ignored * --debug: if present, will be verbose * --notice: send a notice instead of a message (more or less the same but the client can display it differently. Riot for example will not notify you for notices) * --conf: path to a conf file. Default conf file is ~/.patrixrc * --action: what to do. Valid actions are * send-msg (default): send the text message * get-access-token: just login and print the access token * get-room-list: prints the list of public rooms of this server All the available options can be set a the configuration file using a simple ini style format, eg ``` user=alert password=p@ssw0rd room=!BWdARvAgNQGgSjgtAG:matrix.domain.com ``` Options given on the command line take precedence over the config file
