TuneTwit
~~~~~~~~
A simple bot to post what you're listening to on MPD to Twitter.
Runs as a daemon.
Synopsis
tunetwit [-d][-s][-c /path/to/conf.file]
-d debug mode, do not daemonize
-c specify alternate config file (default is tunetwit.conf in
script directory)
-s simulate - don't actually tweet anything, just log what we
would tweet
-o configure OAuth
INSTALLATION
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed.
Copy tunetwit and tunetwit.conf.dist to a directory.
Rename tunetwit.conf.dist to tunetwit.conf
Fill in the blanks. You will need to log in at
https://dev.twitter.com/apps/new and register your application to get
values for $consumerkey and $consumersecret because Twitter doesn't
allow these to be distributed with Open Source software :(
Make sure the directory in which tunetwit resides is writable by the
user it will run as - TuneTwit will create a directory .oauth here to
store your twitter access tokens.
Make sure the targets of $logFile and $pidFile are writable by the
user that tunetwit will be run as. By default these go in the same
directory as tunetwit.
Go to the installation directory and run
> ./tunetwit -o
Follow the instructions. You will need to paste a URL into your
browser, log in to your Twitter account, authorise TuneTwit to post
to it and then enter the PIN which Twitter gives you.
TuneTwit is now ready to go. At first, you may want to run it with
the -d option to see what's going on.
