Overview

install-todo allows the user to install one new ToDo list entry with specified paramters passed to install-todo and add a Note entry using text found in a filename <filename> passed to install-todo.

Options

install-todo options

-P, --priority priority

Specify the priority of the ToDo entry - 1|2|3|4|5 (defaults to a priority of 1).

NOTE: this value has changed from the default of 4 to the default of 1, just as a new ToDo entry on the Palm would set it.

-d, --due duedate

The due Date MM/DD/YYYY (defaults to blank, no due date if this is not specified).

-c, --completed

Mark the item complete (the default is to mark the item as incomplete, as the Palm would do it).

-D, --description title

The title of the ToDo entry

-n, --note note

The Note text you wish to add to this ToDo entry, if any.

-f, --file filename

A local filename containing the Note text.

Conduit Options

-p, --port <port>

Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, install-todo will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, install-todo will print the usage information.

-q, --quiet

Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message

-v, --version

Display version of install-todo and exit without connecting.

Help Options

-h, --help

Display the help synopsis for install-todo and exit without connecting.

--usage

Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.

Usage

The program will connect to a target Palm handheld, and creates the ToDo entry to the Palm ToDo application, using the specified parameters and input from the supplied file passed as arguments on the commandline.

Examples

install-todo -p /dev/pilot -n 'Buy Milk' -D 'Go shopping, see note for items'
