Hi All, I was trying to write some shell scripts to do the following job: when the Streaming API stops working for whatever reason, make a reconnection immediately. Here is how I did it:
I wrote a script called "check.sh": c=$(ps aux | grep curl|wc -l) if [[ "$c" -eq 1 ]] % which means there is no active curl process, the only live one is "grep" then curl -d @locations http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/filter.json - u username:password >> result.txt fi And I created a cron job which runs this "check.sh" every minute: 0-59 0-23 * * * check.sh >> monitor.txt It does the job partially: it can reconnect to Streaming API in the case of disconnection. My problem is that, by running this script as a cron job, the Streaming API got disconnected at the end of every minute, and then reconnect again at the beginning of the next minute, and I have no clue why it got disconnected every minute. The problem seems coming from the cron job I created, but I couldn't find mistakes there. Does anyone have suggestions on this? Many thanks for the kind help! epomqo -- Twitter developer documentation and resources: http://dev.twitter.com/doc API updates via Twitter: http://twitter.com/twitterapi Issues/Enhancements Tracker: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list Change your membership to this group: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk
