Hi everybody,

nice script. I made a litte modification. Because i use an iPhone i want to get push notifications. so what i did is, I set up a second twitter account. Both accounts have to follow each other, so you can send direct messages between them. now i added:

seconduser="the_second_twitter_account_i_want_messages_sent_to"

and i added a second curl-line to create the direct message:

$curl -u $user:$pass -d "text=`echo $@`&user=$seconduser" http://twitter.com/direct_messages/new.xml >& /dev/null

Now with an iphone app that support twitter direct messages with push i got the update right to my iphone.

Hope you like it!

Hi,

i like this twitter thing but i had a problem with. sometimes i got some error tickets when the script was running. These errors where cause by some event summary / device names that contained brackets. so if you have similar problems you should change command from this:

$ZENHOME/scripts/tweet.sh ${evt/device} -- ${evt/summary}

to this:

$ZENHOME/scripts/tweet.sh "${evt/device} -- ${evt/summary}"

then everything will work also with brackets inside the device name and event summary.
