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!

After some great feedback from the Hacker News community we've made some changes. First, no more private beta, so tell everyone to signup and checkout the site. We still need your feedback! Secondly, we lowered the prices on our paid offerings and added scheduling to the free plan. We have more changes coming soon, so subscribe now.

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.

We're looking for some good alpha testers, if your interested please fill out the form here. We really want to hear your thoughts on the service.

Other updates

The signup and login process as been reworked to use the ClickPass service. The guy's at ClickPass have been great to work with, and we think this service will really help people signup without needing to create a new username password on yet another site.

We've also made some back end changes that are not really visible but should help with stability and reliability.

Checkout the CloudSH.com application in Facebook here. If you have a CloudSH.com account and you setup Facebook in CloudSH.com (Type h fb on the command line to find out how) you will have command line access from within Facebook! It will even auto login for you. Get an account!

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.

Today we released two new features which really increase the usefulness of CloudSH.com.

Command Pipelines

Pipelines allow the output of a command to be passed as arguments to the next command. For example you could pass the output of recent delicious posts to the echo command and only echo the HREF like this: 

del/recent | echo $$.href

Resulting in a list of links. The pipe (|) is what enables this. The $$ is a reference to the object being passed to the command. Get more detailed help by typing GetPipelineHelp on the command line.

Output Redirection

This allows you to redirect the output of a command. Right now you can use the emailme target to send the command output to your email. More targets will be coming soon. Output redirection is the last part of a command sequence. We can add a redirect to the command above to have the results sent to our email like this:

del/recent | echo $$.href > emailme

To get more detailed help and see what targets are currently available type GetRedirectionHelp on the command line.

We hope you find these useful and send us all your feedback and requests!
