I updated the script to work with unapproved questions.
I don't like to be popped, so it dumps on term only.
I shamelessly copied the passwd stuff from
jcwren's
luke_repwalker.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
use Getopt::Std;
use URI::Escape;
use constant APPROV => 'Approved';
use constant UNAPPROV => 'Unapproved';
my $poll = 60;
my %question = ( APPROV, '', UNAPPROV,'');
my $count = 0;
$|=1;
{
my %args;
getopts('u:p:', \%args);
# Replace these dies with username/password
my $user = $args{u} || 'jeroenes' || # You can put your name here
die("You need to specify the user with -u");
my $pass = $args{p} || 'youdontwannaknowdoyou' || # You can put yo
+ur password here
die("You need to specify the password with -p");
main( $user, $pass ) while (1);
}
sub main {
watch( @_);
my @secs = times;
$secs[0] += $secs[2];
$secs[1] += $secs[3];
printf "Done %5i fetch%s since last new question. CPU: %8.3f user;
+ %8.3f system\r", ++$count, $count>1?'es':'', @secs;
sleep $poll;
}
sub watch {
my $url = 'http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Seekers%20of%20Perl%
+20Wisdom';
if (@_) {
my $user = uri_escape(shift);
my $passwd = uri_escape(shift);
$url .= "&op=login&user=$user&passwd=$passwd";
}
my $content = get($url) or return;
if ($content =~ m/<font color=white>User Questions<\/font>.+?<a hr
+ef=\"\/index\.pl\?node_id=\S+\">(.*?)<\/a>/is) {
compare( APPROV, $1);
}
if ($content =~ m/<font color=white>Unapproved Questions<\/font>.+
+?<a href=\"\/index\.pl\?node_id=\S+\">(.*?)<\/a>/is) {
compare( UNAPPROV, $1);
}
}
sub compare {
my $state = shift;
my $curquestion = shift;
if ($question{$state} ne $curquestion) {
$question{$state} = $curquestion;
act($state);
$count = 0;
}
}
sub act {
my $state = shift;
print "\nNew $state PerlMonks Question: $question{$state}\n";
}
prints out some CPU info while waiting....
cheers,
