## Sending messages
## Publish using the ntfy CLI
You can send messages with the ntfy CLI using the `ntfy publish` command (or any of its aliases `pub`, `send` or
`trigger`). There are a lot of examples on the page about [publishing messages](../publish.md), but here are a few
quick ones:

## Using the systemd service
## Subscribe using the ntfy CLI
You can subscribe to topics using `ntfy subscribe`. Depending on how it is called, this command
will either print or execute a command for every arriving message. There are a few different ways
in which the command can be run:
### Stream messages and print JSON
If run like this `ntfy subscribe TOPIC`, the command prints the JSON representation of every incoming
message. This is useful when you have a command that wants to stream-read incoming JSON messages.
Unless `--poll` is passed, this command stays open forever.
```
$ ntfy sub mytopic
{"id":"nZ8PjH5oox","time":1639971913,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","message":"hi there"}
{"id":"sekSLWTujn","time":1639972063,"event":"message","topic":"mytopic","tags":["warning","skull"],"message":"Oh no, something went wrong"}
```

### Execute a command for every incoming message
If run like this `ntfy subscribe TOPIC COMMAND`, a COMMAND is executed for every incoming messages.
The message fields are passed to the command as environment variables and can be used in scripts:

| Variable | Aliases | Description |
|---|---|---
| `$NTFY_ID` | `$id` | Unique message ID |
| `$NTFY_TIME` | `$time` | Unix timestamp of the message delivery |
| `$NTFY_TOPIC` | `$topic` | Topic name |
| `$NTFY_MESSAGE` | `$message`, `$m` | Message body |
| `$NTFY_TITLE` | `$title`, `$t` | Message title |
| `$NTFY_PRIORITY` | `$priority`, `$p` | Message priority (1=min, 5=max) |
| `$NTFY_TAGS` | `$tags`, `$ta` | Message tags (comma separated list) |
Examples:
ntfy sub mytopic 'notify-send "$m"' # Execute command for incoming messages
ntfy sub topic1 /my/script.sh # Execute script for incoming messages
### Using a config file
ntfy subscribe --from-config
Service mode (used in ntfy-client.service). This reads the config file (/etc/ntfy/client.yml
or ~/.config/ntfy/client.yml) and sets up subscriptions for every topic in the "subscribe:"
block (see config file).
Examples:
ntfy sub --from-config # Read topics from config file
ntfy sub --config=/my/client.yml --from-config # Read topics from alternate config file
The default config file for all client commands is /etc/ntfy/client.yml (if root user),
or ~/.config/ntfy/client.yml for all other users.
### Using the systemd service
