Integration

• SlackTwit is installed on Skynet as a git repo at

/usr/local/bin/SlackTwit/

• It logs to

/var/logs/SlackTwit/

• SlackTwit is configured as a cron job, like so:

0 * * * * date >> /var/log/SlackTwit/SlackTwit.log ; 
    python /usr/local/bin/SlackTwit/SlackTwit.py 2> /var/log/SlackTwit/SlackTwit.err >> /var/log/SlackTwit/SlackTwit.log

• The .err file will only show the most recent error, that should be sufficient.
• The .log file will just show date information and tweets actually sent, it will need to be pruned annually or so?

• SlackTwit requires use of Slack and Twitter keys that are expected in a local private module.
