Today we added a new command for searching your services, called SearchServices (Search or S for short). It looks at your 30Boxes events, recent Delicious bookmarks, and your Facebook events and friends. You can also search each service individually if you want.

We also recently added some assets for bloggers. You'll find logos, screen shots, and the video from the home page. All CC'd for use in blogs.

Speaking of blogs we've been blogged about in the Museum of Modern Betas!

And I'll be interviewed on LuckyStartups Thursday, October 9th, at 11 AM MST. Watch it live at LuckyStartups!

Today we released two new commands to help stream line some common tasks. Checking your agenda, and updating your status.

Checking you agenda, currently looks at your 30Boxes account for calendar items and to-do list items. Combining them into one output stream. As more calendar solutions are supported they will be added to the agenda command. The command can take common phrases for the "For" parameter, like; today, tomorrow, this week, next week, this month, next month, or a month name.

agenda "tomorrow"

Secondly, the UpdateStatus command updates your status on various services that you have setup, currently 30Boxes, Twitter, and Facebook. More will be added as those services are supported by CloudSH.com. This command just takes a message parameter so you can just type;

update "what I'm doing now..."

We hope these commands will save you time and effort! Let us know what you think.

Scheduling Jobs Is Done! The ability to schedule jobs on a daily or weekly basis is done. And with it the following four new commands.

  • GetJobs: lists any currently setup jobs.
  • AddDailyJob: adds a command as a daily job.
  • AddWeeklyJob: same as daily, but on a weekly schedule.
  • RemoveJob: as you've guessed removes a job.

The add commands can take a date and time which should be in UTC time. The command can be any valid CSH command, but it might be a good idea to append ' > emailme' at the end so the results are emailed to you. If you don't care about the results, just issue the command as you normally would.

adddailyjob "my job name" command:"twt/timeline > emailme"

The above will schedule a job starting one minute from now and repeating every day to email you the Twitter timeline at the time the job runs.

We hope this is useful and look forward to any feedback you have.

Five new commands went live recently, here's a brief description of each.

GetContent - Gets the content of a URL. Can be called as `get` or `cat`.

AsXml, AsJson - takes a string of text and converts it into a XML or JSON object.

ToXml - Takes a JSON string or object and converts it to XML.

ToJson - Takes a XML string or object and converts it to JSON.

Example:

get "http://www.cloudsh.com" | asxml | tojson

The above will get the HTML text from CloudSH.com as XML then converts it to JSON.

These are not too exciting my themselves, but as more commands and output options are created, these should become much more useful. Please leave  feedback and suggestions at http://feedback.cloudsh.com.
