Scheduling

Want a message every weekday morning at 8 a.m.? The easiest way is to an cronjob entry like the following (use crontab -e to edit):

00 08 * * 1-5 ( cd ~/good_morning/ ; RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ~/good_morning/target/debug/good_morning <TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID> <DEST_NUMBER> >> /tmp/good_morning_runlog.txt 2>&1  )

Example:
  00 08 * * 1-5 ( cd ~/good_morning/ ; RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ~/good_morning/target/debug/good_morning b3000465822a90bef67011e8fea44fae +15556667890 >> /tmp/good_morning_runlog.txt 2>&1  )

Notes:

• Use crontab -l to verify entry has been created
• See /tmp/good_morning_runlog.txt for trace and successful responses. /tmp/ is regularly cleared of its contents, so choose another directory for long term logs
• Replace ~/good_morning to your source directory for this project

Notes

• Requires a Twilio account for SMS and MMS messages
• SMS Character limit is 1600
• Requires a Cloudinary account for hosting MMS message images

TODO

• Allow multiple providers to host images
• Improve MMS image
