Talk:Notifier.pl
From Organic Design wiki
Template:Project We need utility which runs as a daemon and uses a set of rules specifying information sources to be checked on a schedule. It will be a Perl daemon based on the wikid.pl code.
Rules
The rules are defined as a list of items and can reside in a location available from any of the protocols it's set up to read from.
Rule Items
- Schedule: pattern to be applied to localtime
- Source: FS, URL, POP
- Extraction pattern: Extracts the information from the received content
- Message: containing $n args
- Target: FS, Wiki, POP, IRC
Example Usage
- SVN changes sent to chat room
- Changes to files appended to a log file
- Changed files syncronised to wiki article
- Changed articles written to files
- Price of a product changing shows up in wiki changes
Development Notes
A standard method of specifying resources needs to be adopted and a function made which accepts these resource descriptions and then interfaces with the necessary code such as wiki.pl and the new irc.pl.
