WordPress/Linux Bash CLI Notes Engine Facility

I created this process to improve my record keeping while working on a Linux bash shell. It allows for one to take notes while on the command line as well as publish to WordPress for tidy and organized record keeping.

Features:

Posts logs to WordPress from any Linux hosts.
Log all CLI commands to syslog globally.
Record literal notes to syslog.
Privately post logs to WordPress via CLI.
Posting of Subject from CLI to WP posts.
Auto insert [hostname] into WordPress post subject.
Auto remove undesired data from WP posts.
Auto insert [shortcode] into WordPress posts.

Roadmap:

Auto redact sensitive data on CLI WP post actions.
Record file changes to syslog (fork tripwire).
Post Categories to WordPress posts from CLI.
Post Tags to WordPress posts from CLI.

Requirements:

A self-hosted WordPress Installation.
The free Twenty Fifteen Theme.
FOSS Postie Plugin by Wayne Allen.
FOSS SyntaxHilighter Evolved by Alex Mills.
A pop3 mailbox (Postie to pull & DELETE emails).
Logger via the util-linux package.
Mailx via the mail-utils package.
Rsyslog via rsyslog package.
A bit of troysio microcode.

Steps:

Install WordPress.
Activate Twenty Fifteen Theme.
Download/Activate SyntaxHilighter Evolved in plugins.
Download/Activate Postie within plugins area.
Configure Postie to fetch and posts PRIVATELY text only.
Install mail-utils and util-linux packages on all Linux hosts.
Create your CLI logging syslog service.
Drop the following troysio microcode into e.g. /usr/local/bin/yourio and make it executable.

#!/bin/sh
# Troy Perkins
# https://troys.io
# Note: Make sure to remove all "\"es from Shortcode lines before executing. I had to place them in order for this code to be published here due to surrounding bash shortcode in this post.

#Host
host=`hostname`;

#Pop3 mailbox;
mailb="your@email.com";

#Content
file='/var/log/commands.log';
#file='/var/log/test.log';

#Shortcode
shrtstart='\[\bash]';
shrtend='\[\/\bash]';

{ echo $shrtstart; cat $file | cut -d':' --complement -s -f1,2,3,4 | sed 's/\ [^\ ]*$//'; echo $shrtend; } | uniq | mailx -s "[$host] $1" $mailb

Usage:
To take manual notes type a # sign then your note then hit enter:

root@crm:# # Here is an example of a manual note on the command line.

To send notes to WordPress:

root@crm:# troysio "Here is my subject"

Example Output:

vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing new cut"
cat /var/log/commands.log | cut -d':' --complement -s -f1,2,3,4
vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing new cut"
troysio uniq
vi /usr/bin/troysio
troysio uniq
troysio | uniq
vi /usr/bin/troysio
vi /usr/bin/troysio-redact
troysio "testing uniq"
vi /usr/bin/troysio
troysio "testing uniq"
cat -A /var/log/commands.log
cp /usr/bin/troysio /usr/bin/troysio-test
vi /usr/bin/troysio-test
troysio-test | cat -A
troysio-test | sub(/\r$/,"") | cat -A
troysio-test | cat -A

Send CLI commands to syslog

Create a CLI command syslog service

echo "local6.*    /var/log/commands.log" >> /etc/rsyslog.d/bash.conf
systemctl restart rsyslog.service

Set global .bashrc shells to log

vi /etc/bash.bashrc

# log all bash shell sessions globally
export PROMPT_COMMAND='RETRN_VAL=$?;logger -p local6.debug "$(whoami) [$$]: $(history 1 | sed "s/^[ ]*[0-9]\+[ ]*//" ) [$RETRN_VAL]"'

To test new configuration:

Either log out and log back into your shell.
Or source bashrc with the command
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
Or start a new shell with the command
```
bash
```

Type a few commands… then

tail /var/log/commands.log
