NAME
ptsb - Interact with you Permanent TSB homebanking from your shell! SYNOPSIS
ptsb [options] Print accounts balance: "ptsb [ -F /path/of/conf/file ] -b" Print account statement: "ptsb [ -F /path/of/conf/file ] -s -a c -n <4digits" -f yyyy/mm/dd -t yyyy/mm/dd> If your are running Linux you can use the date --date command to simplify the date range definition. You can put these aliases on your ~/.bashrc: alias ptsb_stat='ptsb --statement -a c -n xyzt' alias ptst_last_month="statement_current -f `date +%Y/%m/%d --date='1 month ago'` -t `date +%Y/%m/%d`" OPTIONS
-h | --help this help usage message! -D | --debug Enable debug. This will be more verbose and will leave html on the current working directory. -F /path/to/config/file | --file /path/to/config/file filename configuration file path (default: ~/.ptsbrc). Please refer to manual page to see how this file is built. -b | --balance print account balance -s | --statement print account statement -T type | --transation-type type Type of transaction to look on the statement. Type can be: ALL, WITHDRAWAL, DEPOSIT -f | --from--date yyyy/mm/dd from date -t | --to-date yyyy/mm/dd to date -a [c | v] | --account-type [c | v] account type: can be 'c' (current account) or 'v' for (visa card) -n digits | --account-num digits 4 digits representing the last 4 digits of the account number or visa card number. -N | --no-balance Do not print balance when printing statement. -r | --regexp When printing statement grep using the regexp provided -e | --expr where expression is a mathematical expression like '<300' '=300' '>=300' the expression will test the euro amount column only lines matching the expression will be printed -g | --graph Print graph of the statement using gnuplot. Gnuplot is required! -i path | --image path Save PNG image in path. -o filename | --output filename Save the output of the statement inside a CSV file named filename. CSV format is: date,description,amount,balance last field presence depends on the -N flag. -v | --version Print version CONFIGURATION FILE
Configuration file default location is ~/.ptsbrc and it looks like this: -------8< -- ~/.ptsbrc -->8---------- open24_number=your_open24_number password=your_internet_password pan=your_personal_access_number -------8< --------------->8---------- However you can put wherever you want. Just remember to use then the option -F /path/to/your/location. Lines beginning with # will be interpreted as comment. Starting from release 0.08 ptsb will use GnuPG to encrypt the configuration file using the private key of the user. Therefore you'll have to create your key if you didn't do this yet. In case you want to decrypt your ptsbrc file use this command: $ gpg -d /path/to/your/ptsbrc This will print the encrypted file on the standard output. SEE ALSO
