[cron:6dd85dd2-28ce-411f-b2de-8106e314da47 Deal Post - X + Pinterest (every 30 min)] SCHEDULED TASK: Post 1 deal to X and Pinterest.

## CRITICAL: Use the SAFE script (prevents $ shell expansion bugs)
```bash
cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/ghc-marketing
python3 scripts/post_deal_safe.py
```

This script:
- Uses pure Python (no shell $ variable expansion)
- Validates tweets before posting
- Posts to X via Maya VM twikit
- Posts to Pinterest via Maya VM py3-pinterest
- Records in posted_db

## If script fails
Check the error message and report back. DO NOT manually post using shell commands with $.

## If X cookies expired
Run: `ssh maya@maya "DISPLAY=:0 python3 /home/maya/workspace/scripts/extract_x_cookies.py"`
Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 3:57 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.

thinking:
This is a scheduled cron job for posting deals to X and Pinterest. The task is clear:
1. Run the safe script that prevents shell expansion bugs
2. It should handle everything automatically
3. Report back with results

Let me execute the script as instructed.

thinking: Still running. Let me check the log again in a moment.


thinking: Let me check the full log to see if there's any output.


thinking: Still no output. The script is taking a while. Let me poll once more and if it's still running, I'll wait for it to complete.


thinking: The script is still running but there's no output yet. This could mean it's working on fetching deals, validating them, and posting. Let me wait a bit more and then check again.


thinking: Still running. Let me check the log one more time to see if any output has appeared.

thinking:
Ah, there's a timeout issue with SCP trying to transfer the image to the Maya VM. The script successfully:
1. Fetched the deal (Cantu Coconut Curling Cream)
2. Built the tweet
3. Validated it
4. Downloaded the image

But it's failing when trying to SCP the image to Maya VM - the connection is timing out after 30 seconds.

This could be:
1. Network connectivity issue between fred and maya
2. SSH/SCP authentication problem
3. Maya VM might be down or unreachable

Let me check if the process finished and then investigate the Maya VM connection.

Process still running.


thinking: The process is still running (probably hanging). The issue is clear: SCP is timing out when trying to transfer the image to the Maya VM. Let me check if Maya VM is reachable.

exec

command: ping -c 2 maya


text: Command still running (session calm-falcon, pid 3422450). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

sessionId: calm-falcon


thinking: Ping is also hanging. This confirms Maya VM is unreachable. Let me kill the stuck posting process and check the Maya VM status.

process

action: kill


text: Killed session mild-crest.

status: failed


thinking: Good, killed the stuck process. Now let me kill the ping too.


text: No active session found for calm-falcon


thinking: Let me check if Maya VM is in the nodes list to see its status.

nodes

action: status


toolName: nodes

caps: browser system

caps: ble gpio i2c sensor


thinking:
Maya VM is not in the OpenClaw nodes list - it's a separate VM that we connect to via SSH. The issue is that Maya VM appears to be down or unreachable over the network.

Let me check if it's reachable via Tailscale or if there's a connectivity issue. First, let me try to SSH to it with a short timeout to confirm it's unreachable.

exec

command: timeout 5 ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 maya@maya "echo 'Maya is up'" 2>&1 || echo "FAILED: Cannot reach Maya VM"


text: FAILED: Cannot reach Maya VM

status: completed

aggregated: FAILED: Cannot reach Maya VM


thinking:
Confirmed - Maya VM is down or unreachable. This is a critical infrastructure issue since Maya VM handles all X/Twitter and Pinterest posting.

I need to report this issue and suggest next steps.

text:
**⚠ DEAL POSTING FAILED - MAYA VM DOWN**

**Status:** Deal posting script failed due to Maya VM connectivity issue.

**What worked:**
- ✅ Fetched deal #34774 (Cantu Coconut Curling Cream $3.25)
- ✅ Built tweet (validated correctly, no $ shell bugs)
- ✅ Downloaded product image

**What failed:**
- ❌ SCP timeout trying to transfer image to Maya VM (30s timeout)
- ❌ Maya VM is completely unreachable (SSH failed, ping failed)

**Deal details (ready to post when Maya is back up):**
```
12-Oz Cantu Coconut Curling Cream w/ Shea Butter $3.25 w/ Subscribe & Save
Deal ID: 34774
Image: /tmp/deal_34774.jpg (on fred)
```

**Next steps:**
1. **Immediate:** Check Maya VM status - is it powered on? Network issue?
2. **Short-term:** Restart Maya VM or troubleshoot connectivity
3. **Once Maya is up:** Re-run the posting script to complete this deal

**Impact:**
- Current scheduled post skipped (3:57 AM UTC / 10:57 PM EST)
- Next scheduled run: 4:27 AM UTC (30 min from now)
- If Maya stays down, all X/Pinterest posting will fail

Need Chad to check Maya VM infrastructure.
