Create tasks from the command line
jose.rojas says:
I am linux user and love the command line because let me do things in a quicker way, so less time wasted in repetitive tasks is more chance to increase the productivity..
So, after several tryouts, i can post tasks directly to RTM from the linux console (works in Mac too)
The trick: Using twitter, we can posts tasks to RTM sending direct messages to @RTM user..(and after configure your twitter with RTM --> http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/twitter/)
Here is the script
#!/bin/sh
# RTM
# Script to post tasks directly in Rememberthemilk.com
# Developed by Jose R. Rojas - jrojas (at) gmail (dot) com
# http://www.joserojas.org/
# Change this values for your twitter's user
login=your-user
passwd=your-password
# Showing messages in screen
echo "Starting RTM"
echo "Adding the task.. Please wait.."
# we use curl to simulate the user action in a browser
curl -s --basic --user $login:$passwd --data-ascii "status=`echo d rtm $@|tr ' ' '+'`" "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json" > /dev/null
# More messages :p
echo "It's done.. Next: Start to Getting your Things Done :)"
Put in a file, name it "rtm", put the file in your local executable directory, give it execution permissions (chmod +x rtm) and it's done..

Best regards!
