Telegram bots are an extremely handy tool to send automated notifications/messages directly to the phone. It's completely free, easy to set up, and you can send any kind of message, including documents, pictures, videos etc. Here, I have made a bot to keep track of my long-running computer jobs so that it can send me a notification when the job finishes/fails.

### 🚀 Getting Started:

- Open the Telegram bot at https://t.me/JobReminderBot and press `start` to get started. Wait for the admin to authorize you.

- Download the [telebot](https://github.com/Koushikphy/TeleJobReminder/blob/main/telebot) script (only written for bash atm), make it executable and keep it in your `PATH`.

- Submit your job with the shell script as

    ```

    telebot -u USER_ID -n JOB_Name -j JOB_Command

    ```

### ⚒ Setting Optional Middlehost:

If you are working in an isolated shell that can not communicate with the bot server (i.e., internet) directly, you can run the [middlehost.py](https://github.com/Koushikphy/TeleJobReminder/blob/main/middlehost.py). It creates an HTTP route that transfers the network communications to and from the client-side to the bot server running on the cloud. In that case, you need to change the bot server address in the [telebot](https://github.com/Koushikphy/TeleJobReminder/blob/main/telebot) script with the middle host server details.
