In the Section `[BOSWatch]` you can set double_alarm_time etc.
In the Section `[Plugins]` you can activate or deactivate the Plugins
For each Plugin that requires configurations a own Section with his Name is available
For the other Functions see "Usage" below.
##### Web Frontend
Put the Files in Folder /wwww/ into your local Webserver Folder (/var/www/).
Now you must edit the "config.php" with your Userdata to your local Database.
For the Parsing Functions take a look into the parser.php
### Usage
`sudo python boswatch.py -f 85.235M -a FMS ZVEI`
Starts boswatch at Frequency 85.235 MHz with the Demodulation Functions FMS and ZVEI.
Parameter -f/--freq and -a/--demod are required!
Help to all usable Parameters with `sudo python boswatch.py -h`
```
usage: boswatch.py [-h] -f FREQ [-d DEVICE] [-e ERROR] -a
{FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400}
[{FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400} ...] [-s SQUELCH] [-v]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FREQ, --freq FREQ Frequency you want to listen
-d DEVICE, --device DEVICE Device you want to use (Check with rtl_test)
-e ERROR, --error ERROR Frequency-Error of your Device in PPM
-a {FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400} [{FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400} ...],
--demod {FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400} [{FMS,ZVEI,POC512,POC1200,POC2400} ...]

### Installation
You can easy install BOSWatch with the install.sh Script.
- Download the install.sh in any Folder you want.
- Make it executeable `sudo chmod +x install.sh`
- And use the script `sudo sh install.sh`
Now the script downloads and compile all needed data.
At the end you can find BOSWatch in `~/boswatch/`
Rename `config.template.ini` to `config.ini` and configure
In case of an Error during the Installation, check the Logfile in `~/boswatch/install/setup_log.txt`
Caution, script don't install a Webserver with PHP and MySQL.
So you have to make up manually if you want to use MySQL support.
