Twiiter for terminal

Just wonder why not you tweet while coding from terminal , so tired this :

#!/bin/sh

user="twitter-username"

password="twitter-password"

echo "You want to tweet about ?"

read message

curl -u $user:$password -d "status=$message" "https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml"

Rather disadvantage if your friend could read your script right ;)

So tired this :

#!/bin/bash

tweet()

{

usr=$(zenity --entry --text="Username" --title="Twitt")

pwd=$(zenity --entry --text="Password" --title="Twitt" --hide-text)

msg=$(zenity --entry --text="Tweet" --title="Twitt")

if [ "$usr" = "" ]; then

zenity --info --text="UserName invalid"

tweet

elif [ "$pwd" = "" ]; then

zenity --info --text="Invalid Password"

tweet

elif [ "$msg" = "" ]; then

msg="www.h3manth.com"

fi

}

tweet

URL="https://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml"

curl -u ${usr}:${pwd} -d status="${msg}" ${URL} -k -s > /dev/null

if [[ $? = 0 ]];

then

zenity --error --text="You couldn't twitt , check if everything is fine " --title="Twitt"

exit 0

else

zenity --info --text="$msg is twitted" --title="Twitt"

exit 1

fi
