GTG

How to use gtg_new_task?

Asked by Boyd Kelly

I would like to add tasks from the command line, and create some recurring tasks with cron. The best I could do is:

 echo "Description @tech,work" | gtg_new_task -i "New task".

But this always brings up the gui which I don't want. Without the -i it doesn't work. And of course I would want to add a start and due date. Is it possible to do this?

Great gnome app!

Thanks!

Hi Boyd,
You can try this:
echo "Description @tech,work" | gtcli new "New task"

gtcli is the CLI for GTG. But make sure that you have GTG running in background, because otherwise it will open the GUI once.

Nice! Otherwise is there a way to set the start and due date?

Unfortunately the date problem needs to be worked on.
I will raise a bug for that.
