Check the bank account balance with a script so it can be done automatically.
Credentials are the ID number, PIN, and a code chosen by the user, they are passed with environmental variables at the moment. Eg. in Linux: export ID=xxxxxxxxxx; export PIN=xxxx; export CODE=xxxxxx
Fixing a bunch of small tidbits, and will eventually move to a single file Python solution.
The output has a format as
2013-03-06T09:59:52+0800, 12345, 9876
which has the current date, total balance, and available balance. The date is fully qualified, though formatted for Taiwan's time zone since I'm here. Units are TWD (New Taiwan Dollar).
55 23 * * * export ID=XXXX; export PIN=XXXX; export CODE=XXXX; cd /home/user/cathaycheck; BALANCE=$(./banking.sh); echo $BALANCE >> cathay_balance.txt; echo $BALANCE | /usr/bin/mail -s "SUBJECT" "EMAIL"
This will check the balance and save it into a file called cathay_balance.txt, as well as sending an email to a specified address, all that every day at 23:55 at night.
