I finally got that CK pool notification script posted on github:
http://edonkeycoin.github.io/ckpoolnotify/Currently all the script does is email you when a worker or user address has a new best share that's better than the previous one. While past success is no indication of future success, this does provide a little bit of feedback that something is happening. And it's kind of fun to cheer on your sticks.
In the future more useful notifications can be added, like hash rate warnings, found block alerts, etc.
The details are in the read me, but here's the overview of how you set up and use the script:
- Install a couple of needed python libraries
- Send a test message to validate your email credentials
- Run the script with your email settings plus the worker and user addresses you want to monitor
- Optionally configure as a daemon to run automatically at boot
Honestly I've only tested this on Mac OS X (Yosemite and the El Capitan GM). It probably works on Windows and Linux, but I haven't tried it. If you run into problems let me know.
