    no apps needed, log into pushover.net and find your pushover @pomail.net email. Use that for email notifications where applicable.

    Add the address to any systems which send a notification out (such as the root forwarder in centos), and then all mails received at the address will be pushed to your device.

    maybe the root forwarder might be too verbose/frequent for pushover ?

    i use pushover.net email for stuff like
    so whereever you have software or scripts you install that allow email notifications, you can choose to use pushover email instead or email

    Hi,

    I already installed it successfully and I got an update yesterday at my iphone notifications with some blocked IPs. But while installing the cron, I didn't understand this point " For CentOS 7, using sed replacements to enable yum-cron settings. This sets daily updates for full yum upgrades and hourly to security only updates."

    Thanks

    you edit the 1st variable for EMAIL=yourpushoveremailaddress and then type in ssh all these below commands commands or copy and paste
    Code (Text):
     
EMAIL=your@email.com
sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAIL}|" /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^update_messages = no|update_messages = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^download_updates = no|download_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAIL}|" /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^update_cmd = default|update_cmd = security|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^update_messages = no|update_messages = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^download_updates = no|download_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
egrep '^email_to|^update_messages|^download_updates|^apply_updates|^emit_via' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
egrep '^email_to|^update_cmd|^update_messages|^download_updates|^apply_updates|^emit_via' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
service yum-cron restart

    sed replacement is just matching one set of text and replacing with other

    so this would replace first instance of text beginning with ABC (^ begins with) with XYZ in /path/to/filename.conf
    Code (Text):
    sed -i 's|^ABC|XYZ|' /path/to/filename.conf


    You could manually edit /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf and /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf instead of sed edits if you want

    i.e.
    Code (Text):
    sed -i 's|^update_messages = no|update_messages = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf

    replace

    update_messages = no

    with

    update_messages = yes

    It's done, I got many blocked IPs notifications at my mobile and only 1 update notification. Is that normal?, do you suggest any other security ?

    Yeah that's why i suggest not to use push email notification for root forwarder or csf /etc/csf/csf.conf configured email to/from alerts and use regular email for that and leave push notifications for stuff like maldet, yum-cron etc

    should I leave filename.conf or rename it ?, which one do you recommend sed replacements or manually edit /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf ? or can I do both ?

    How can I install Matt script ? here ?

    Thanks a lot :)

    No no filename.conf is just an example of how sed works

    you edit the 1st variable below for EMAIL=yourpushoveremailaddress and then type in ssh all these below commands commands or copy and paste
    Code (Text):
    EMAIL=your@email.com
sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAIL}|" /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^update_messages = no|update_messages = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^download_updates = no|download_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
sed -i "s|^email_to = root|email_to = ${EMAIL}|" /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^update_cmd = default|update_cmd = security|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^update_messages = no|update_messages = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^download_updates = no|download_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^apply_updates = no|apply_updates = yes|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
sed -i 's|^emit_via = stdio|emit_via = email|' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
egrep '^email_to|^update_messages|^download_updates|^apply_updates|^emit_via' /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
egrep '^email_to|^update_cmd|^update_messages|^download_updates|^apply_updates|^emit_via' /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
service yum-cron restart


    might want to ask in that thread Pushover | Centmin Mod Community
