Db Chat

Db Chat v2.0.0 — a social/communication toolkit for managing connections, syncing data, monitoring activity, automating tasks, and more from the command line.

Commands

Run via: bash scripts/script.sh <command> [args]

Each data command works in two modes:

• With arguments: saves the input with a timestamp to its dedicated log file.
• Without arguments: displays the 20 most recent entries from that log.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/db-chat/:

• Each command has its own log file (e.g., connect.log, sync.log, monitor.log)
• Entries are saved in timestamp|value format
• A unified history.log records all activity across commands
• Export files are written to the same directory

Requirements

• Bash (standard system shell)
• No external dependencies — uses only coreutils (date, wc, du, grep, tail, cat)

When to Use

• When you need to log database connections or service links from the terminal
• To track sync operations and data synchronization events
• For monitoring and recording automation workflows
• To manage notification logs and webhook configurations
• When you want to schedule and template recurring tasks
• To export activity data for reporting or backup purposes
• For lightweight, file-based activity and communication tracking
