Argosnap

This gem allows you to displays your current amount of picodollars along with OSX notifications when your tarsnap account falls bellow a predefined threshold of picodollars.

Installation

Install the gem via rubygems:

$ gem install argosnap plist mechanize terminal-notifier

Configure

Run the following command for the script to create a configuration file like: 

$ argosnap -i config

You'll see the location of the newly created configuration file on your terminal. Then you need to configure the config.yml file which looks like this:

---
:email: [email protected]
:password: p4sw0rd3
:threshold: 10
:seconds: 7200

Just put your tarsnap login credentials. You can omit the other two variables if you are not using an OSX system. To view your account use the command:

$ argosnap -p

Configure Launchd under MacOSX

In the config.yml adjust the threshold and seconds options as you see fit. Threshold is the amount of picodollars bellow which you'd like to start seeing notifications and the seconds consists of the time window. Then type:

$ argosnap -i cron

Now just start the installed .plist file following instruction you'll see on the screen and you're done.

Options

To run an osx notification use the command:

$ argosnap -p osx
Current balance (picodollars): 4.8812

To get the amount of picodollars as an integer type:

$ argosnap -p clean
4.8812

That's all :-)
