slacktee install as root about slacktee

Thank you for using slacktee, cheesemarathon!

If slacktee is executed by the root user, slacktee tries to read the configuration file .slacktee from the home directory of the root user, not from your user's home directory. So, please try to copy your .slacktee file to root user's home directory. You should be able to find the directory of the root user in /etc/passwd.

Also, you can use the server-wide configuration. Since slacktee also tries to read the configuration file /etc/slacktee.conf, by creating the file, all of the users on the server can use the same configuration. You can find the sample file in this GitHub repo.
If both configuration files, /etc/slacktee.conf and ~/.slacktee, exist, slacktee prioritizes ~/.slacktee, therefore users can overwrite the server-wide configuration if they want.

I hope this information helps to setup slacktee!
