Facebook Command Line

I have been using Facebook Command Line for quite sometime. I got bored of Facebook since people started over-sharing, sharing each and every photo they see on Facebook, no matter what the other person will think.

So basically, Facebook Command Line is a tool or an app developed in PHP, connected through the API of the Facebook.

In this post, I will explain How to get started with this tool. I am running Macintosh 10.7 OS X Lion, and by following this tutorial, you’ll be able to use this tool not only in Macintosh but in Linux as well.

GET STARTED:

The first thing is to open the Terminal and download the App to the system.

I have a folder named “Dozz” at my home directory for mostly experimenting stuffs, so the 1st command is optional. You can just start by typing the following command:

curl -O https://raw.github.com/dtompkins/fbcmd/master/fbcmd_update.php

The next step is to run the installer, by typing the following 2 commands.


sudo php fbcmd_update.php sudo
php fbcmd_update.php install

That’s all, you’re done with the installation. Now you can simply remove the old file you kept in the home directory.

So start using the Facebook Command Line type “fbcmd”, of cause without double quotes.

Looks like you have to obtain an authorization code for the first time, before doing that you need to add the basic access, You can doing that by visiting this website.

After you have allowed the basic access, you need to generate the fbcmd authorization code, which is also known as XXXXXX. You can do it by visiting this website. After generating run the following command:

fbcmd auth xxxxxx

N0w you’re logged in, Happy Facebooking through the Command Line. Visit this website for the commands and reference.

Manually Remove a Virus from PC or USB

If you are tired of sitting and waiting for your anti-virus software to remove the new virus infection, the steps below are for you. No programming skills are required! Just a basic knowledge of command prompt syntax will do…for this demo, the virus is on the portable USB drive (e:\virus) named virus.vbs

how to manually delete the virus

  1. Create a back-up. Safety comes above all else. Save your files on removable storage or on another partition aside from the Windows drive.
  2. Run the Windows command prompt. You can run the Windows command prompt by either clicking on the Start Menu\All programs\Accessories\Command Prompt or by pressing Windows + R on the keyboard and typing “CMD.”
  3. Look for the directory or folder where the virus resides. Go to the folder where the virus is hiding. Its usually resides on the Windows temporary folder or on the Windows system folder. Check partitions and drives for viruses, e.g. type “cd e:\virus”
  4. Show the hidden virus and remove its attributes. It will be easier if you can see the virus. Remove the virus attributes, which are read only, archive, system file, and hidden file. e.g. type “attrib -r -a -s -h virus.vbs”
  5. Delete the virus. Say goodbye to the virus by deleting it, e.g. type “del virus.vbs”
