Install

To build webnotify binary, simply execute the commands:

$ tar -gvxf webnotify-(version...).tar.gz
$ cd webnotify-(version...)
$ make

Remember you need OpenSSL lib in order to compile webnotify successfuly. If you're using apt-get package manager, you can install OpenSSL lib using the command:

# apt-get install libssl-dev

After a successfuly build of webnotify you can execute webnotify binary directly, also notice that webnotify uses a configuration file (webnotify.conf) which is first searched in /etc/webnotify.conf and then in executing folder.

So if you want webnotify to use a configuration file located in /etc/webnotify.conf create this file (with writable permissions for who runs webnotify) before you start adding your web sites to webnotify. Example:

$ sudo touch /etc/webnotify.conf
$ sudo chmod a+w /etc/webnotify.conf
