twitter client in bash

| July 24th, 2009

So continuing with my silly scripts here’s another one to update your status on twitter, drop it in your /usr/bin and then type bwitter and then your update and then enter, thats it. of course edit your username and password for it to work . ctrl-c closes the client. im using in xterm and typing in a lot of useless updates

#!/bin/bash

#Author::deadwait

#name::bwitter

echo type in your update
read update
curl -u username:password -d status=”$update” http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml | grep ZZ

bwitter
