4.50pm. I was recently told about the idea of publishing nagios alerts to a private twitter account

As it was a nice quiet day so I had a look at implementing the scripts today. I had a few problems getting the tweets through our http proxy, but managed to solve this problem by adding:

$ENV{http_proxy}='http://proxy:8080';

to the top of the nitter(v2) script. I then moved the script to /etc/nagios/ and I was away.

Fridays goal: complete.
