Linux Nuts- Automate twitter with .sh

shaddai · 10-29-2009, 11:58 PM

Was looking for free twitter automation tools to run on my windows machine..didn't find much. Got to thinking 'You know, I've got an Ubuntu laptop over there & Linux apps are mostly free....I wonder if someone has something?'

To my surprise, the Linux shell will do it with a .sh script. Here's two of the more interesting pages about it I've found:

Twitter: Bash Shell Scripts to Automate Messages | Server Training Blog
John Croson's Blog Home: Automating Repetitive Twitter Tasks Using Linux

Haven't tested yet, but will report back once I have it going.
