I would like to write a "tweet response" script that replies to codes sent in a tweet and would like it to be event driven, upon an incoming tweet, rather than something clumsy an inefficient like a cron job checking for new tweets every 30 seconds... is this possible to anyone's knowledge?

I’ve had trouble doing this with Safari, because cURL can’t parse the .plist format it uses for it’s cookie jar. I believe Firefox uses a format for it’s cookie jar that cURL can understand, even on a Mac.Also, it’s probably a good idea to only login if you have to. Facebook keeps you logged in for a very long time, but unfortunately does not support multiple logins. To tell if I’ve been logged out, I look at the of the page that curl gives me <a href="http://www.microsoft-certification-test.com" rel="nofollow">microsoft test</a>.Personally I think facebook should support multiple logins, but unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about this.

Use that instead of doing a command execution. PHP has a curl implementation. Use that instead of doing a command execution.
