Report the status of your node via APRS (KC7HUR script)

Script Installation

1. Login is as root.

2. Get the tar file:
 

It has come to my attention that the script file is no longer available on KC7HUR site. The file is available for direct download here aprs_status-4.0.tgz  from my site or use wget http://www.zs1jen.org/IRLP/IRLP_Notes/Centos/aprs_status-4.0.tgz

3. Install the files found in the tar file:

   cd /
   tar -xzvf /root/aprs_status-4.0.tgz

   This will un-zip the files and place them in the appropriate
   directories.

4. Read the README_aprs file in /home/irlp/custom directory for the rest of the instructions.

Logging IRLP node status on Twitter (irlp-tweet script)

To log and update your node status on Twitter, use the supertweet API. The following files provide a how-to and the basic script needed.

IRLP Tweet Readme

Four revisions have been made to the readme file and script.

Added option to include a time stamp with the call to the twitter API
Added a comment about the need to run the twitter script in the back ground
Update the Supertweet API URL to use the json version. The previous XML based URL for the API has been deprecated.
Updated the API URL to use a locally hosted Supertweet proxy
IRLP Tweet Script (irlp-tweet)

The IRLP-TWEET script has been modified to provide a unique status update by appending the date to the string constructed for the status update.
