NAME

6       message_group - Send a message to a myspace group
7

VERSION

9       Version 0.7
10

SYNOPSIS

12        message_group config_file
13
14       Where config_file is a YAML file containing account and message info.
15       Note that this should be readable only by you (i.e. chmod 600
16       config_file).
17
18       This script is a command-line front end for the WWW::Myspace::Message
19       module that lets you message all the members of a specific MySpace
20       group.  This is handy if, say, your band sounds like another band and
21       you want to send a message to the members of that group saying that
22       they might like your music because they like that band.
23
24        Sample config file:
25
26        ---
27        account: myaccount@myspace.com
28        password: mypassword
29        subject: Hi there!
30        cache_file: /path/to/mycache
31        message: |
32          This is a message.
33          It is, and must be, indented by two spaces.
34
35          - Me
36        group: 1255555
37
38        # You can also do this to specify multiple groups (notice the indent again):
39        group:
40          - 1255555
41          - 1244444
42          - 1345553
43
44       This script will read the config file and start messaging. If it hits
45       the max_count value or a CAPTCHA response, it will sleep for 24 hours,
46       then continue. If the script is stopped or interrupted, re-run it using
47       the same config file and it will pick up where it left off. The script
48       invokes the send_all method in WWW::Myspace::Message.  Use perldoc
49       WWW::Myspace::Message to read the docs on that module.
50
51       Note: To run this as a cron job, set delay_time to 0 in the config
52       file. This will make it exit instead of pausing when it hits max_count
53       or CAPTCHA.  This is good because it'll re-read the friends list on the
54       next run, so it'll pick up any changes.
55
56        delay_time: 0
57
58       Be careful when specifying multiple groups. The script will read all
59       the friends from all the groups each time it's run.  Since you're only
60       going to message about 300 per day, that can be a big waste of
61       resources.  Try to do one group at a time.
