Benscomputer.no-ip.org - Howto use one installation of OAuth tcli for multiple Twitter Users

To allow one instance of tcli (OAuth) to be used for multiple user accounts, open tcli.sh in a text editor and change the line

  
  source .tcli.rc      to           source "$TCLICONFIG"

Pass the path to the appropriate .tcli.rc when calling the program;

    
TCLICONFIG="/home/ben/OAuthprog1/USER1CONFIG/.tcli.rc" ./tcli.rc -c statuses -s "tcli.sh rocks!"

Note: Remember to cd into the directory containing the Twitter Module. If for some reason you can not/would prefer not to do this every time. You can use a similar method to define the path to the programs;
Locate the line;

    source TwitterOAuth.sh

and change to

    source "$OAUTH_PATH"/TwitterOAuth.sh

Then open TwitterOAuth.sh and locate the line

    source OAuth.sh

and change to

    source "$OAUTH_PATH"/OAuth.sh

Then when calling tcli.sh simply pass the variable OAUTH_PATH;

    OAUTH_PATH="/path/to/OAuth" TCLICONFIG="/home/ben/OAuthprog1/USER1CONFIG/.tcli.rc" ./tcli.rc -c statuses -s "tcli.sh rocks!"

Happy Coding!
