mentioner

Documentation

Overview

Provides a service that will listen on an unix socket for commands. Received commands are parsed into a source and a list of (past and current) targets. The service then proceeds to send a mention from source to each of the targets.

Intended use-case for this service is to be run as a daemon. A source, eg., a blogging engine can then contact this daemon through its socket. This way, every time a new blog post is compiled with the blogging software, the blogger can notify the daemon about any links mentioned in the post.
