244 (NEWS 433) - Pushover Update!
By Alara: The notifier service I use to keep on top of player logins, new player requests, and SQL server connection issues has been updated!! Previously the Linux machine running the MUSH would execute a cron job every minute and trigger a curl request to a local PHP script that would log into a MySQL server, search for 'notifier' records inserted by the MUSH in an event table, and php_curl up to Pushover those details.
Sound complicated? It is.
But now PennMUSH can run @http requests directly, and Pushover is extremely straightforward, taking a user ID, secret token, and message body directly from a POST request. Basically, it's a ton simpler and I'm a lot happier being IMMEDIATELY notified of you logging in, rather than waiting up to a minute! YAY!!!
