have updated the tool to use WordPress’s XML-RPC capability. Still uses readline (and now XML-RPC instead of cURL), but check out Andrew’s Windows work around

This works for Windows.


if(!function_exists('readline')) { //Win32
define('CMD_STDIN', fopen("php://stdin", "r+"));
define('CMD_STDOUT', fopen("php://stdout", "r+"));
function readline ($str=null) {
if ($str!=null) fwrite(CMD_STDOUT, $str);
return trim (fgets (CMD_STDIN, 255));
}
}

readline…. yeah the silent mode won’t use readline. Better fix that up!!

I’ll be fixing up some stuff this week. Making it more interactive in one mode… and also silent in another (to allow for use in pipes etc)

Might also mention that because of the readline requirement, it will not run on Windows
