Being the geek that I am and being on Twitter, many of you may have noticed I have setup a Twitter account for my server to “Tweet” information that could be useful to me. @anestidotorg tweets uptime, CPU usage, and users every hour thanks to a CRON job and a Python script I’ve written. I originally started out with BASH script, moving to Python because of the flexibility in string handling. Most *nix servers should have Python installed. The script uses CURL to hit Twitter’s API. My server now “tweets” on reboot, and every hour, giving me a status update. I’m providing this script for free, do as you wish with it. Download Here
