DESCRIPTION

rtconsole is a text client to RT using ncurses.

FILES

The config file $HOME/.rtconsolerc (see the --config-file option) can be use to set options. The format is .ini file style. Here is an example with all possible keys/values for now :

[connection]
server=rt.cpan.org
user=dams
pass=my_password

[files]
download_dir=/some/directory     # where to store attachments
view_image=/usr/bin/cacaview %s  # how to display an image (%s in the filename)
view_text=/usr/bin/nano %s       # how to display a text (%s in the filename)

There are 2 sections for now : connection and files. More will be added in the next versions of this software.

You can generate the config file by using --generate-config. It'll be saved at the location specified with --config-file, or at the default location ($HOME/.rtconsolerc)
