Does this code still work. This is what I have exactly and it wont work. Am i missing something? I really need this just to work for adding comments on my twitter through my website.

When i execute the following code it just says Test cron tweet in my browser and it won’t show it on my twitter account.

The luna string works perfectly but your twitter command didn’t work at all. At least it didn’t work for me. I tinkered around and came up with something that does work and here it is.

$username = ‘your twitter username’
##Keep the single quotes when you enter the variable for username and password
$password = ‘your twitter password’

$g = `luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.location/getCurrentPosition {} 2>&1 | cut -d, -f4,5 | sed -r ‘s/[^-\.0-9,]//g’`;

$result = shell_exec(‘curl http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml -u ‘.$username.’:’.$password.’ -d status=”‘.str_replace(‘”‘,’\”‘,$g).’”‘);

echo $result;

You could use your Palm Pre as a GPS tracking system via Twitter so people can find you if you get lost in the snow. remember that CNet guy who got snowed in? He’d be alive today if he had this phone with him.

Another question please. I have the crontab calling a small php script, which wget's a page on my server with latitude and longitude. My server saves this information with a timestamp, so I can do maps later on.

So, here is my question: The cron only seems to work when I am actively using my Pre. Is there a way to make the cron run (and call my script) 24/7?

Hi there, a question. I managed to overwrite everything in the file: /etc/event.d/mod-crond
When I was prepending a bit to it. What should be in the file when all is said and done? thank you.

Hi, I would very much like to speak with whoever got the Palm Pre to automatically send GPS coordinates via SMS. I am trying to find an automatic Search and Rescue tool for use in small private airplanes. I have checked with the FCC (and FAA) and cell phones are legal on General Aviation airplanes as long as they avoid the 800 MHz frequency range. Also, Radar coverage for small airplanes just doesn't do the trick so a periodic SMS message with GPS info would be steller. Please contact me if you can. I'm willing to travel or whatever to get this to work.

Thanks,

I was getting something quite similar. I think the bit.ly reference is simply twitter changing the long url to a shorter one that doesn't exceed the twitter 160 char length. Bit.ly is just like the tinyurl.com service. Unfortunately it appears that Twitter thinks the URL ends at the comma in the GPS coords and doesn't encode the entire URL, so it ends up broken. I tried encoding the commas using the hex %2C but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's just me not knowing enough about URL encoding or Twitter just being flawed in it's URL shortening. I suspect it's just me not knowing how to do it.
