DESCRIPTION
bti provides an easy way to send tweet messages direct from the command line or any script. It reads the message on standard input and uses the account and password settings either from the command line options, or from a config file, to send the message out.
It's primary focus is to allow you to log everything that you type into a bash shell, in a crazy, "this is what I'm doing right now!" type of way, letting the world follow along with you constant moving between directories and refreshing your email queue to see if there's anything interesting going on.
To hook bti up to your bash shell, export the following variable:
PROMPT_COMMAND='history 1 | sed -e "s/^\s*[0-9]*\s*//" | bti --bash'
This example assumes that you have the ~/.bti set up with your account and password information already in it, otherwise you can specify them as an option.
CONFIGURATION
The account and password can be stored in a configuration file in the users home directory in a file named .bti The structure of this file is as follows:
account
- The twitter.com or identi.ca account name you wish to use to send this message with.
password
- The twitter.com or identi.ca password for the account you wish to use to send this message with.
host
- The host you want to use to send the message to. Valid options are either "twitter" or "identica" to send to twitter.com or identi.ca respectively.
There is an example config file in /usr/share/doc/bti/examples/bti.example that shows the structure of the file.
