Dear All, Here is my latest attempt at my connect script which posts the node's status on Twitter. It now detects the type of connection ( IRLP, Echolink or Allstar ) and also has a lookup for some often used connections from my node to put some more detail in the tweet. I am sure the Linux gurus out there will cringe at my crappy attempt at scripting but it works and you gotta start somewhere :-D I bet there are much better ways of doing this but this is all I could come up with tonight. Here it is for those that might want to do something similar: # Detect if Echolink node number or not if [ $2 -lt 300000 ] ; then let nodeno=($2-300000) systype="Echolink node " if [ $2 -eq 3001332 ] ; then name="MB7IBA" fi fi # Detect if IRLP node number or not if [ $2 -lt 49999 ]; then let nodeno=($2-40000) systype="IRLP Node " if [ $2 -eq 49755 ] ; then name="UK Reflector" elif [ $2 -eq 49453 ] ; then name="WIN System, California" fi fi # Detect if Allstar node number or not if [ $2 -lt 3000 ]; then let nodeno=$2 systype="AllStar Node " if [ $2 -eq 2237 ] ; then name="GB3ZY" elif [ $2 -eq 2259 ] ; then name="GB3DQ" fi fi # Tweet it curl -u username:password -d status="GB3FH connected to $systype $nodeno $name" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml & On 15 February 2010 22:08, Matt Beasant <g4rky@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

Hi all!
I've been following some discussions on the IRLP list about node owners setting up their nodes to send node status updates to Twitter.
I was wondering if I could do something similar with my app_rpt node? Has anyone already done this?
I'm guessing I'll need to use the connpgm and disconpgm entries in rpt.conf.
How do I deal with the arguments that get passed out with those commands? What are they called?
The IRLP script uses curl to send info to twitter, would this work with App_rpt too?
Sorry for the dumb noob questions!
Thanks,
Matt G4RKY
