def send_message(msg):
	payload={'text':msg}
	one_man_army_hook=webhook
	headers= {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
	response=r.post(one_man_army_hook, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
	print(response.text)

if __name__ == "__main__":
	message = sys.argv[1:]
	print("console message is {}".format(message))
	if not message:
		message=sys.stdin.readlines()
