Hi!
Based on Glynn Foster's IRC request I hacked-up a small experiment/toy
(see attached script shtwitter.ksh, the file needs Solaris 11 = B72
since it depends on the networking capabilities of the new korn shell)
which allows to post messages to a twitter.com blog. twitter is some
kind of microblogging site, e.g. you can post one-liners up to 140
characters to a page, similar to a syslog.
The similarity with a syslog quickly leads to a simple usage idea - send
the contents of /var/adm/messages to a twitter blog like (see
http://twitter.com/syslog_sxb72x86 for an example (WARNING: This is not
recommended since the log may contain passwords by accident))
$ (export SHTWITTER_USER=account_username
SHTWITTER_PASSWD=account_password ; tail -f /var/adm/messages |
while read i ; do ksh93 shtwitter.ksh blog $i ; done)
Does anyone have better ideas how such a thing could be utilised (maybe
to monitor SMF state changes ?) ?
Bye,
Roland
