python scripts/send_status.py "Starting data fetch..." "progress" "step1" python scripts/send_status.py "Processing complete" "success" "final" python scripts/send_status.py "Error: Missing API key" "error" "auth"
# Start monitoring a long-running task python scripts/monitor_task.py start "My Long Task" "processing"Monitor will send "Still working..." updates every 5 seconds
When task completes, report final status
python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "My Long Task" "success" "Completed successfully!"
The
monitor_task.pypython scripts/monitor_task.py start "<task_name>" "<status_type>" [--interval <seconds>]
python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "<task_name>" "<final_status>" "<final_message>"
# Start monitoring python scripts/monitor_task.py start "video_processing" "progress"... long processing happens here ...
Stop with final status
python scripts/monitor_task.py stop "video_processing" "success" "Processing complete!"
For single status updates without monitoring:
python scripts/send_status.py "Still fetching data..." "progress" "fetch" python scripts/send_status.py "Processing records: 250/1000" "progress" "process" python scripts/send_status.py "Complete! 3 files ready" "success" "final" python scripts/send_status.py "Error: Connection timeout" "error" "api"
Keep status messages under 140 characters. Examples:
python scripts/send_status.py "Uploading..." "progress" "upload" --details "File: report.pdf (2.4MB)"
python scripts/monitor_task.py start "data_sync" "progress" --interval 10
from send_status import send_statusdef long_task(): send_status("Starting...", "progress", "step1") # ... work send_status("Step complete", "success", "step1")
For scheduled tasks, use Clawdbot's cron feature:
# In a script or session from cron import addEvery 5 seconds, check status
job = { "text": "Check status update", "interval": "5s", "enabled": True } add(job)
This allows status updates even when you're not actively watching.
