Check when Nexus 4 has stock again

If you want to get a Nexus 4 and you are waiting for the Play Store to get new stock, you can automatically check by using this bash script:

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
  if [ `curl "https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb" | grep -io "Sold out" | wc -l` -lt 1 ]
then
  echo "In stock"
  # You can send yourself an email here
  exit 1
fi
echo "Not in stock :("
sleep 900
done

#shell

#android
