Using (gem) t to get DMs when your server goes down.

README.md

On your server, if you need to, isntall ruby1.9.1-dev:

apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

Then install t:

gem install t

Follow along @sferik's great readme on t to get keys from Twitter and authorize t.

I'm using mongroup on my server (which I got by using taco to deploy node apps via Git to the server) and once t was authorized, I added these bits to my mongroup.conf file and created a dm-error file. That was it!

Shoutout as always to @maxogden for the PRO-TIP:tm:

dm-error
#!/usr/bin/env sh
t dm @jllord "reporobot went down"

mongroup.conf
on-error = ./dm-error
