Campfire script for Pomodoro

Description

Simple [Campfire][campfire_app] notifier for the [Pomodoro app][pomodoro_app], based off [xiplias][xiplias]'s [gist][parent_gist].

The script reads a JSON file to match a leading pomodoro tag with a Campfire account. In the example file there is a campfire account with tag called "wco". Any pomodoros starting with "wco-", "wco_", "wco," will use the "wco" campfire account. If no campfire account exists with the leading tag, nothing will be broadcast.

Using strace and lsof

Using strace and lsof to debug blocked processes

You can use strace on a specific pid to figure out what a specific process is doing, e.g.:

strace -fp <pid>

You might see something like:

select(9, [3 5 8], [], [], {0, 999999}) = 0 (Timeout)

Running a Cinch IRC bot on Heroku
  1. Add Heroku to your Gemfile and bundle install.
  2. Create your Heroku app. This will only work with their (currently-beta) 'cedar' stack, so you have to heroku create --stack=cedar.
  3. Create a Procfile for your bot. This tells Heroku how to run your worker. In our case, the bot is bot.rb, so the only line in the Procfile is cinch: bundle exec ./bot.rb
  4. Commit and push to Heroku.
  5. You do not want a Web worker running, so heroku scale web=0 cinch=1. This also sets up your deployments to restart the bot.
