Reports notifier script Anonymous 03/29/15 (Sun) 18:20:01 No.6563

Too lazy to login to your board/board you're moderating to check if there are any reports? Or perhaps you'd like some magic notification popping up in front of you if there are any reports, without having to login?

I made a thing (Linux only, but probably not difficult to adapt).

#!bin/sh

# Set script directory
path="/path/to/script"

# Login
wget –keep-session-cookies \
 –save-cookies $path/cookies.txt \
 –post-data 'username=<username>&password=<password>&login=Continue' \
 https://8ch.net/mod.php \
 –delete-after
 
# Get number of reports
get=$(wget –load-cookies $path/cookies.txt  https://8ch.net/mod.php -q -O - | grep -Po '(?<=queue \().*(?=\))')

# Check number of reports, notify if there are some
if [ "$get" != 0 ]
then
zenity –width 150 –warning –timeout=30 –text="Reports: $get"

fi

rm $path/cookies.txt

exit 0

You can remove/change the "–timeout=30" part which closes the popup after 30 seconds if you like. Put the script wherever and change path to your liking. In crontab -e put in the following (runs it every 30 minutes, change if you like):
*/30 * * * * export DISPLAY=:0.0 && sh /path/to/script/script.sh

And finally this is needed in .bash_profile or else zenity derps out:
[[ $DISPLAY ]] && xhost +localhost:$LOGNAME

Enjoy I guess. Nothing special really. Could probably be done better too.

I got bored again.

Change the first if-statement with this for even more expediency.

Not sure how to open with the session cookie so you can skip login though. That would have been even better.

  zenity –width=150 –question –title="Warning" –text="Reports: $get \
   \n\n Deal with it now?" –window-icon="warning" –timeout=30

  if [ "$?" = 0 ]
  then
    xdg-open https://8ch.net/mod.php?/reports

  fi

>Change the first if-statement with this
That is to say, replace the zenity line with that so that you have a nested if-statement.

yad is more efficient than zenity

I can't into that. I could probably make this into a Java program so this trickery with Zenity and CRON wouldn't be a problem, but it would still depend on wget (and maybe also grep if I'm lazy).

Anyway, here's a small update.

#!bin/sh

# Set vars.
path="/path/to/scriptfolder"
un="WingedFaggot"
pw="123456"

# Log in.
wget –keep-session-cookies \
 –save-cookies $path/cookies.txt \
 –post-data "username=$un&password=$pw&login=Continue" \
 https://8ch.net/mod.php \
 –delete-after
 
# Get number of reports.
get=$(wget –load-cookies $path/cookies.txt  https://8ch.net/mod.php \
 -q -O - | grep -Po '(?<=queue \().*(?=\)</a>)')

# Check number of reports, then take action/inaction.
if [ "$get" != 0 -a "$get" -eq "$get" ]
then
  zenity –width=150 –question –title="Warning" –text="Reports: $get \
   \n\n Deal with it now?" –window-icon="warning" –timeout=30

   if [ "$?" = 0 ]
   then
     xdg-open https://8ch.net/mod.php?/reports
   fi
   
# Script is fucked.
else
  if [ "$get" != 0 ]
  then
    zenity –width=150 zenity –error –text "Checkreports script failed! " \
     –timeout=30
  fi
  
fi

rm $path/cookies.txt

exit 0

I wonder if we could perhaps use the ideas from this script to automate some sort of mod bot to do anything we wanted

on most systems you can create native notifications from bash using the notify-send command.

try it. some people might prefer actual notifications over zenity's windows
