Small day project to send me a text alert when Franklin brisket is available on gold belly.
- You are on a mac
- You have a ruby manager installed
git clone https://github.com/TravisSpangle/franklin_alertcd franklin_alertcp settings_example.yml settings.yml- brisket_url - gold belly product you ware waiting to be sold again
- alert_username - gmail email
- alert_pword - gmail password
- alert_number - your cell number as an email address
- Test run with
bin/test- you should get a text message with the url in your settings.yml - You will want to automate this. Adjust your crontab's frequency. With RBENV I used:
0/10/20/30/40/50 * * * * export PATH=/opt/rbenv/shims:/opt/rbenv/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH; eval "$(rbenv init -)"; cd ~/Desktop/franklin_alert && bundle exec ruby app.rb
With crontab and the newer mac OS's you'll need to adjust some security preferences. Use this stack overflow for the explanation - https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/378558.
For me, I had to wait for the error message. When cron failed I did which cron, found it's location and dragged and dropped the file in the the Full Disk Access permissions.
