I've cracked it, if anyone else is interested in this then email me direct! Cheers, Matt On 12 February 2010 14:30, 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,

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:
