## Q&A
**Q.** why isn't it staying open in the background to monitor my tweets?
**A.** TwitToMast doesn't run perpetually by default. You'll need to set it up yourself to run on a schedule.
- On macos, you can run the script every 10 minutes with the following command in an automator app set up to run at login.
- `zsh -c "cd /path/to/repository/TwitToMast && exec screen -DmS twittercrosspost zsh -c 'while true; do /path/to/node ./TwitToMast.js [username] [tweet count] [debug level] & sleep 600; done'"`
- You can connect to the created screen to monitor the output of the script with `screen -ls` and `screen -r [screenid]`
- Windows users, try [this](https://joshuatz.com/posts/2020/using-windows-task-scheduler-to-automate-nodejs-scripts/)
- If you're on linux, you probably already know what you're doing
**Q.** Doesn't bypassing Twitter's API violate their TOS?
**A.** No, elon musk personally gave me the go-ahead to do this.
