This is just a simple tool to post to jaiku from a terminal. In general, the usage is very simple:

jaiku_cmdline Hello, here is my message.

The newest version can always be found on this page:  http://www.movethemarkets.com/richard/software.

Download jaikuCmdLineUtil source code from http://www.movethemarkets.com/downloads/jaikuCmdLineUtil-0.1.tar.gz
Extract with " tar -zxvf jaikuCmdLineUtil-0.1.tar.gz
install Haskell and coresponding libraries  " sudo apt-get install ghc6 libghc6-http-dev libghc6-network-dev "

open jaiku_cmdline.cabal in text editor
and add build-dependence directory. the line should look as follows :

build-depends:       base, HTTP, network, directory

make Setup with " ghc --make Setup "
configure with " ./Setup configure --user "
Build with " ./Setup build "
and finally install with " sudo ./Setup install "
jaiku_cmdline should now be installed in /usr/bin/jaiku_cmdline

The first time you post to jaiku you must include your jaiku username ,  Personel API key and location. in the folowing format.
You get the API Key by pointing your browser to http://api.jaiku.com
jaiku_cmdline -u <username> -p <personal api key>  -l "@ Home" Test post.

jaiku_cmdline remembers your username, personal key, and location, and re-uses them with all future invocations. In general, the only switch you are likely to touch again is the location one, like so:

jaiku_cmdline -l "Dreamland" Going to sleep now...

Just don't forget to set it to something else again when you are back!

To send a message without changing you location just type " jaiku_cmdline Hello, here is my message. "
