# How to use it?
#   1. Signup to pushover.net, pay the 5$ as a one-time purchase.
#   2. Install the pushover app on your phone, login and connect the app with your pushover account.
#   3. Copy the user key from here https://pushover.net/ and replace the curl parameter "USERKEY"
#   4. Create a new app (https://pushover.net/apps/build), copy the API token and replace the curl parameter "APITOKEN"
#   5. Copy this bash script to your server, e.g. as "notificato.sh". Make sure it is executable (chmod +x notificato.sh)
#   6. Update your cronjobs. Instead of running e.g. 'cronjob_script.sh' run 'notificato.sh "hourly script" cronjob_script.sh'
# The first parameter is the title of the notification.
# The second parameter is your script to be executed.
# If your cronjob script fails with an error, you will receive a notification on your phone with the given title and the results of stdout and stderr.
