# cmd2slack - Execute a command and send its output to Slack

Execute a command and send its `stdout` and `stderr` to a Slack channel as an [Incoming Webhook](https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks).

## Usage

First you need to set up an [incoming webhook integration](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/) in your Slack workspace. Once done that, you will receive a webhook URL (`$HOOK` hencefort). That's all the configuration you need.

Once you have your webhook URL, just call your command prefixed by `cmd2slack`, like in the following example:

```

$ cmd2slack -hook $HOOK ping -c 5 google.com

```

If the invocation was successful, you will receive a message like this:

![success](success.png)

If the command executed exits with a failure code, the message will look like this:

![failure](failure.png)

The are also additional flags you can pass the program:

```

$ cmd2slack --help

Usage of cmd2slack:

  -channel string

        Channel where to post the output

  -emoji string

        Emoji to use

  -hook string
