Currency rate monitor script
Using Nagios I am able to monitor the currency conversion rate, so I can know exactly when to sell my currency and to buy my currency. I wrote a creative plugin to nagios that does just that!
Its not my best bash code, I should really rewrite in perl. But the idea is here, and it works.
Anyone wants to build a nagios just to monitor and graph currency exchange rates? I am up for it.
Example:
bash currencymon.sh
Usage: currencymon.sh [--minwarn value] [--maxwarn value] [--mincrit value] [--maxcrit value] [-v|--verbose]
# bash currencymon.sh 2.65 2.95 2.55 3.15
MONEYX OK: Value of EURO is - 3.1623
The current conversion is from Euro x Real, inside the script there is a parameter to change it.
currencymon.sh
#!/bin/bash
#Script to monitor Money Conversion Rates
