= twitterscrobble
* http://twitterscrobble.rubyforge.org
== DESCRIPTION:
This application posts recently played tracks from last.fm to Twitter.
== SYNOPSIS:
twitterscrobble [options]
For help use:
twitterscrobble -h
The following command reads all most recently played tracks from a last.fm account
and posts them to Twitter. All settings are read from the preferences file.
twitterscrobble
The following command prints the status line of recent tracks to stdout (not posting to Twitter), assuming a history value of 0 and not saving state.
twitterscrobble --no-post --history 0 --no-save
The following posts all recent tracks and store user names and password in the preferences file. This is suitable as the initial invocation, as it creates the preferences file for later invocation without the user detail.
twitterscrobble --scrobbler-user foo --twitter-user FooBar --twitter-password bar
== REQUIREMENTS:
* twitter
* scrobbler
* shorturl
== INSTALL:
* sudo gem install twitterscrobble
This script is probably run best from CRON:
$> crontab -l
# m h dom mon dow command
* * * * * /home/nerab/projects/atom2nntp/workspace/twitterscrobble/bin/twitterscrobble --loglevel warn --logfile /home/nerab/.twitterscrobble/twitterscrobble.log
The entry to the user's crontab can be made with
crontab -e
This will invoke the default editor for making changes to the user's crontab.
The library will announce itself as "twitterscrobble" on Twitter (by sending the appropriate source parameter). The twitter gem
still has a bug about this, so the source parameter will not work until bug[http://jnunemaker.lighthouseapp.com/projects/14843/tickets/11-source-parameter-does-not-get-through#ticket-11-1] has been fixed.
