networkimprov / pacman-watch Goto Github PK

Avoid HTTPS.
Generate single-use password params for URL.
Possibly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S/KEY

add function to retrieve the pacman-watch status URL
provide command-line switch for pacman-watch
if switch on and URL returns error, print error and exit

File names: client-{open,close}.{sh,service,timer} -- no need for 'pacman-watch' prefix

Header comments: follow example of service.go

client-open.sh: maybe
if pacman -Qu | grep common_word > /dev/null; then ...

Since client-open isn't a service unto itself, could client-open .service & .timer files be combined?

Provide an install script instead of commands in readme.

Provide client.conf file for shell vars: host, client, password, etc.

Commit message template: {add,fix,clean}: {server,client} description
add = new feature, fix = repair feature, clean = polish without additions or fixes

Run scripts found in a test/ directory after reboot, before client-close.
First script checks log files for update-related errors.

For any command that hits the network, retry every minute for network errors.
After 20 retries to /{open,close}, give up (update is stale by then).
Server will allow /open, failed /close, /open
Disable .timer during open/restart/test/close sequence (server expects single-threaded client)

Hey, I started a new server instance with: ./service test and run the following curl commands:

[self@anvl pacman-watch]$ curl 'http://192.168.0.100:4321/open?client=tom&pw=password'
ok
tom@2014-10-30T21:45:16-07:00
[self@anvl pacman-watch]$ curl 'http://192.168.0.100:4321/close?client=tom@2014-10-30T21:45:16-07:00&pw=password'                                                                                                                                                                                                             
error

I have never used the "tom" client before.
