Getting Notifications When You Log In to a Machine

Warning

This section is about Linux.

$HOME/.profile script is run each time you log in as a particular user in a machine. This might be useful if you want to get a notification if someone logs into your server.

Add line below to $HOME/.profile:

tgcli bot -t "BotToken" send -r "ReceiverID" message "🔑 Someone logged in as **$USER** on **$(date)**."

Now you will receive a message each time someone logs in to your server:

Example

🔑 Someone logged in as foo on Fri Sep 20 00:21:46 +03 2019.
