 Add `de-p1st-execNotify` in front of your command to execute.
 
-You can pipe into `de-p1st-execNotify` but **not** from `de-p1st-execNotify`
- as the output gets modified.
-
 **Example:**
 
 `de-p1st-execNotify ls /non/existent/file` will mail you the exit code, stdout and stderr of `ls /non/existent/file`
