I'm interested in something like this as well!

You could use the mail function to do s.th like that.

Example (use your Inbox Mail Address from Settings/Info)

"mail -s "Buy milk" rmilkusername+234ddf@rmilk.com"

Now if someone would write a wrapper around this in order to incorporate a bunch of options....

I am quite ignorant in this field, but could someone possibly create a go-between using the API?

@oleolo
That's a nice idea for quickly adding tasks from the command line.
However, it doesn't allow to view/delete tasks.

I think there's lots of ways to add tasks (twitter, email, IM, widgets, mobile), but not many options to view them (web, widgets come to mind). RTMs great non the less!

hmm.. I am in favor of such a thing. As a computer geek, I am often in Terminal and i need quick access to my todo list without having to launch my browser again.

It's really a matter of how many people want this feature, and how to implement it. The Perl script that the developers of Hiveminder created is pretty good, but you need to install several additional Perl modules to get it to work.

I'm wondering if it would be easier with a Python or Ruby script, or even a shell script.

started on that

There it is: http://www.rutschle.net/rtm/

It's very simple for now, probably not useful for a heavy user (I am myself a RTM beginner, not using lists or any 'advanced' stuff') but it's a start anyway.

nesbitt, you'll only need to instal XML::Simple; there is no reason to think it'd be 'easier' in another language: it just makes no sense to be writing an XML parser parser from scratch just to remove a dependency (XML parser in shell script? now I wonder if *that* exists :)

Yves,

I've been offline for a few days. But I'm definitely doing to take a peek at your script in the next day or two. Thanks for making the effort!

I've found using twitter cli + rtm to be a pretty solution, at least for adding tasks.

You'll need RTM twitter to get this to work.

Here's the one-liner script. Name it "rtm" and put it somewhere in your path, and you'll be able to add tasks on the commandline with "rtm buy some milk, seriously"

curl -s --basic --user ":" --data-ascii "status=`echo d rtm $@|tr ' ' '+'`" "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json" > /dev/null

(this is a slight variation of a script found here: http://binnyva.blogspot.com/2007/03/using-twitter-part-1-command-line.html)

sorry, formatting killed the line a bit. Here's what you want:

curl -s --basic --user "USERNAME:PASSWORD" --data-ascii "status=`echo d rtm $@|tr ' ' '+'`" "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json" > /dev/null

Hi,

I'm trying Yves' script: it works really well!

The only thing I'm missing is the due date (display next to task title and possibility to add/change due date).

It's a very cool tool, probably the fastest one I've found.
