Usage

$ sentinel [options]

Config file: path/to/your/config/file

Options:

  -V, --version  output the version number

Configuration

Sentinel relies on a config file for the list of sites to monitor, as well as some user-configurable settings.

When you first run Sentinel, it will prompt you to setup a config file in your home directory.

Subsequently, to locate the config file, run sentinel -h.

To start afresh, run sentinel -s. Sentinel will prompt you to replace your existing config file with a fresh one.

Configuration fields

The config file should always be a valid JSON object.

• sites (array): Array of absolute (http or https) URLs to monitor
