[Bryce Harrington <bryce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

gtcli is a command line tool for listing your tasks in gtg.  It can also
do some basic operations - close, postpone, delete, etc.


The reason I wrote this is because I use several different computers,
and wanted to log into the machine running gtg to look at and update
tasks remotely via ssh.

See down below for some examples of how it works.

You can get gtcli as follows:

 0.3 gtg users:  Included in current trunk!  :-)

 0.2 gtg users:  http://bryceharrington.org/files/gtcli
         * (Or `bzr branch lp:~bryceharrington/gtg/command-line`)


This script interacts with gtg through its dbus api.  (This is why
there's two scripts; the 0.3 dbus api for gtg has been changed to work
with the new filters system.)  Patches welcomed.


=== EXAMPLE USAGE ===

$ cd ~/src/gtg/
$ export DISPLAY=:0     # We're running through ssh, whoohoo!
$ ./scripts/debug.sh &  # Starts gtg for debugging
