Hello. Thanks, it's a pretty good tool. I can't figure it out and can you help me monitor some users, how can I do it?

Hey,

To monitor multiple Instagram users simply spawn additional copies of the script. If you are doing this on your desktop simply open separate terminal windows and in the first one monitor the first user:

./instagram_monitor.py user1

and in the second:

./instagram_monitor.py user2

However I recommend to use sth like tmux or screen (not sure which OS you are using):

Create tmux session for first user:

tmux new -s insta_user1

Then run the tool for the first user:

./instagram_monitor.py user1

Press Ctrl+B and then D to detach from the session. The tool will still run in the background.

Then create tmux session for second copy of the script:

tmux new -s insta_user2

And run the tool for the second user:

./instagram_monitor.py user2

You can reattach to the sessions created earlier like this:

tmux a -t insta_user1

tmux a -t insta_user2

I will add some more info about it in the README later.
