How to create a simple todo file?
Hia all,
I am trying to create a simple script, that will keep me a todo file/log.
The idea is to have to scritps, one to enter a new todo file, one to delete (it can be one with different inputs, but this is not the point)
e.g.
> newEntry Call_home
- will add a new line to the log like that: - Call_home [TIME_STAMP]
>delEntry Call_home
- will update the current task's indicator to +
There are many more things I can think off, but this is for starters.
My Question is:
1. I have tcsh, where can I learn how to do what I want. (sites with examples are preferable)
2. If you can post a snipplet, that would be great.
thanks,
Me

msynctool
msynctool(1) Sync msynctool(1)
NAME
msynctool - Command line interface for OpenSync
SYNTAX
msynctool option [arguments] [option]
msynctool --sync SYNC_GROUP
DESCRIPTION
Command line interface for OpenSync
You can use this tool to synchronize your devices and applications using the OpenSync framework from the command line.
- First you have to create a SYNC_GROUP:
msynctool --addgroup evo2-sync
- Now you have to add the members to this group. (2 at least)
Note: The first argument to the --addmember command is the group to which you want to add a member, the second argument is the name of the
plugin to add.
msynctool --addmember evo2-sync evo2-sync
msynctool --addmember evo2-sync file-sync
- The next thing you have to do is to configure the plugins.
msynctool --configure evo2-sync 1
(configures the first group member)
msynctool --configure evo2-sync 2
(configures the second group member)
- Now your group is ready for usage!
msynctool --sync evo2-sync
OPTIONS
--listgroups
Lists all groups
--listplugins
Lists all plugins
--listobjects
Lists all objtypes that the engine understands
objtypes: contact, data, event, note, todo
--showformats objtype
Lists all formats that a objtype can have
--showgroup groupname
Lists all members of the group
--sync groupname
Sync all members in a group
--filter-objtype objtype
Filter out objtype
For example, the following syncs only contacts:
msynctool --sync evo2-sync --filter-objtype event --filter-objtype note --filter-objtype todo
Note: if you use "--filter-objtype data" it syncs nothing !?
--slow-sync objtype
Perform a slow-sync of all members in the group
[--wait]
Don't immediately start to sync, but wait for a client to initialize the sync
[--multi]
Repeat to wait for sync alerts
--addgroup groupname
Add a new group
--delgroup groupname
Delete the given group
--addmember groupname plugintype
Add a member to the group
--configure groupname memberid
Configure a member. memberid as returned by --showgroup
[--manual]
Make manual engine iterations. Only for debugging
[--configdir]
Set a different configdir than ~/.opensync
[--conflict 1-9/d/i/n]
Resolve all conflicts as side 1-9 wins, duplicate, ignore, or keep newer
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
OSYNC_TRACE
When you want to provide trace files please turn on tracing like this:
export OSYNC_TRACE=/path/to/log/dir
When you run some opensync commands now, opensync will generate a couple of Thread*.log files in this directory.
You can exclude sensitive data in the trace files with:
export OSYNC_PRIVACY=1
