Hi Guys,
is it possible add the feature to announce activity like login/logout/mail tossing/post etc to social media like twitter and Facebook? I have a script .js that already run in another BBS software per events.
Thanks
More practical would be at most an email to sysop.
Using an outside method such as twitter/facebook hooks could result in
unwanted security attacks and that is NOT good !
This information is available in the log files so running a script using
grep against it would be fairly straight forward subject to exact needs.
Suggest you try it.

Well Vince the pushover to Twitter/Facebook or your iPhone/Android si just matter of pushover and not bidrectional communication. There are not security problems because you have to create your own application and send the information with an authorized token and user.

I do posts to Twitter, using a command line twitter client. But so far not too much info directly from the BBS, but rather about the bbs. That the daily maintenance scripts have run, for intance. Uptime info. Posting about the other info would need reading the system log, for instance, ;line by line. Or perhaps setting the system log entry to something that both sends it to a log file and sends via a pipe that to something that reads the lines as they come throught I decides if it's something that could be posted about...
