Southwest Checkin 2.X

Automatically checks in passengers for their Southwest Flight.

Version 2.0 of this project is a complete rewrite of the service. The brittle HTML parsing and form submissions are a thing of the past. A much better approach is being taken to automate checkins. And, importantly, the new version has a robust test suite. It is even written in a new language (Ruby) and framework (Rails).

If you are interested in the old version, see the 1.0 branch.

Old but maybe useful bits

Create a script to launch everything

echo '#!/bin/sh
service postgresql restart
service redis-server restart
sleep 2
echo Starting rails
tmux new -s rails  -d
tmux send-keys  -t rails "cd /root/southwest-checkin/app" C-m
tmux send-keys  -t rails "/root/.rbenv/shims/rails s -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -e development" C-m
tmux new -s sidekiq -d
sleep 2
echo Starting sidekiq
tmux send-keys  -t sidekiq "cd /root/southwest-checkin" C-m
tmux send-keys  -t sidekiq "/root/.rbenv/shims/bundle exec sidekiq &" C-m' > /root/start.sh
