pardon teh spemz
in short ...
cron has a bit of an issue with environment so it came down to absolute pathing (again)
AUTHOR="gmdatacenter"
POSTBODYINPUT="$AUTHOR""txt"
BASETITLE=$(grep ^"$AUTHOR|" basetitles|cut -d'|' -f2)
BASETAGS=$(grep ^"$AUTHOR|" basetags|cut -d'|' -f2)
had to be (in my case)
AUTHOR="gmdatacenter"
POSTBODYINPUT="$AUTHOR""txt"
BASETITLE=$(grep ^"$AUTHOR|" $HOME/wurdafileis/basetitles|cut -d'|' -f2)
BASETAGS=$(grep ^"$AUTHOR|" $HOME/wurdafileis/basetags|cut -d'|' -f2)
feel free to downvote if you didnt get laid this morning cos your wife had a bad hairday and some cartels just wrecked the post you spent $20 on, i could care less on this account ...
if this one posts ill remove it from cron ofc ... RC aint free no more
oh the pythonbit ... i never seen a line of python in my life until this script really
post = [line.rstrip('\n') for line in open('postbodytext')]
title = post[0]
tags = post[1]
author = post[2]
body = '\n'.join(post[3:])
the rest is steempth or beemd or whatever thats why i use mainly shell for anything but the encoding (thats like WAY too much hassle to diy)
gud, bye
