Consolidated config/command handling #17

Closed anoved closed 12 years ago

anoved commented 12 years ago

Behavior is currently controlled via yml config files. I've also proposed some command line options and a Twitter "command channel". These should all work the same way (or as a subset of the same controls - for security reasons perhaps the Twitter channel should be more limited). Command line opts and command channel instructions set the configs read from yml.

First step towards this is command line options to control what is done - mention replies, search replies, or other functions (specified tweets, spontaneous updates) - individually or in some combination.

For regular updates, there can be different cron jobs configured with different options.
