I need to login info Salesforce account via bash script and then call specific pages that contains information that I need to monitor.  Any help or suggestions?

 

I was able to login into other website using below command, but this ain't working with Salesforce.

wget -c https://ap1.salesforce.com --no-check-certificate --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-data --cookies=on --keep-session-cookies --post-data 'username=asd@asd.com&pw=changeme'

  TIA

I can't say for sure, but I'd guess that having the --post-data argument in there twice isn't helping:

 

wget -c https://ap1.salesforce.com --no-check-certificate --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-data --cookies=on --keep-session-cookies --post-data 'username=asd@asd.com&pw=changeme'

From googling briefly, it doesn't appear to be supported. Documentation suggests this: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_asynch/Content/asynch_api_quickstart_login.htm

    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update

      By CakeHappens · Posted

      Similar to what started me on the path to switching to Linux... for the first 6mo of Win10 it was installing an AMD GPU driver that broke audio over HDMI which was essential to me. Driver from AMDs site was fine.
    • Elon Musk once again claims Tesla robotaxis are coming soon

      By olavinto · Posted

      I have avoided many deer, a few moose, and other smaller animals during my years of driving and have managed just fine with only ABS and ESP, both of which can also be problematic depending on circumstance. I have never feared driving and I live in a rural area with a lot of deer and other animals. Winter or summer, heavy rain or sunshine, night or day, I always prefer and like to drive myself, and I drive constantly in my job. People die in accidents and they always will, that is a fact of life. Something like self-driving busses I can advocate for because they can be set to drive on static routes that always stay the same - i.e. those routes can be specially designed and maintained for them. I've already seen enough idiots doing random idiotic things with their Tesla autodrives that I would rather see them crash and burn because of their own stupidity instead of their "computer failing". I've also been a PC and tech enthusiast of over 25 years so I I'm fine with tech but I want to be the one who uses it, and decides how much of it I use. I also do not want it to make my hands, feet and brain obsolete. For me it's not really about if a computer can do it but about people not having to do things themselves (responsibly). I think that basic driving education should be done with a manual car and these "automatic only" cards should not exist (yes, I'm European and we drive a lot of manual cars, I even prefer them). If a person doesn't have enough coordination to manage a steering wheel, shitfer and pedals, how on Earth are they able to react to any unforseen situation on the road? And giving them autodrive doesn't make me feel any better if the person behind the wheel can't manage even basic driving themselves. One of the things I hate most in today's society (in general) is how pretty much everything that is considered even a bit dangerous is eliminated instead of educating people to assess risks and avoid problems themselves. Instead we make brains obsolete by building systems that do everything for us.

      I would say that's a purely subjective opinion, Phaseman.
