RAW Mode (CLI) Guide

RAW Mode drops window wrappers entirely, giving you direct terminal access to your local schedule file. It is built exclusively for shell power users, headless system rigs, and cron script automation.

Why Use RAW Mode?

RAW Mode strips away the window overhead completely. It requires zero graphical desktop engines to be installed, making it entirely portable. It turns SchedPlus into a lightning-fast utility for recording tasks without leaving your terminal environment or breaking your typing flow.

Command Reference & Terminal Interactions

RAW Mode launches an immediate interactive textual query parser directly inside your active shell session window.

Core Prompts & Commands:

• list — Pulls all upcoming agenda blocks out of storage and prints them sequentially to standard output text.
• add — Initiates a step-by-step terminal prompt sequence to log a new task title, date string, and time block.
• wipe — Clears out all entries across all active tables, resetting the underlying database file.

Core Workflow Paths

1. Launching Interactive CLI Mode

To enter the terminal prompt environment loop, fire the runtime flag:

schedplus --interface raw

2. Headless Scripting & Automation

Because the business logic layer is detached from visual window elements, you can pass arguments directly into the engine for cron jobs or automated system alerts:

# Append an entry directly without loading an interactive shell environment
schedplus add --title "Automated Server Backup Checked" --date "today"

# Pipe out current database content states out to plain text files
schedplus list > ~/agenda_backup.txt
