I play WoW, and when I raid, I have to sign up on a forum posting. This script sends emails whenever there is a new posting in the "Line-Ups and Sign-Ups" forum.

From the forumHey guys. I'm not entirely sure whether or not any of you are nerds like me, but if you're technically inclined, I figured I'd post a little script I just whipped up.

What it does is spit out all of the currently available line-ups for your raid group, and sends you a notification via email when it sees a new line-up posted.

As a disclaimer, I should mention that I have done no testing as to whether or not the script will work for you. In fact, unless you run Mac OS X or some flavor of Linux, you should probably abandon all hope of using this. I can't support Windows, sorry!

To Install:Copy/paste the code to a text file and save it (I recommend something like "equil.rb"). Edit the first couple variables to suit your needs. They begin with dollar signs. If you don't want it to email you, delete the $toList lines. Open a terminal and run ruby /the/location/you/saved/it The program should return however many current line-ups are out. If you set up the email correctly, you will get an email for each. Notes:If you use a Mac, you'll have to run sudo postfix start for the mail functionality to work. It will prompt you for your password. If you use Linux, a mail application is likely running already.

Feel free to ask any questions or make any modifications.
