Create issue from CRON

Hi,

If someone is interested, i'm using this bash script to create periodically issues with linux CRON.

Crontab:
0 23 * * 4 /opt/redmine/create_issue.sh /opt/redmine/issue_backup.xml >/dev/null 2>&1

File: issue_backup.xml

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <issue>
    <subject>Realizar Backup</subject>
    <project_id>1</project_id>
    <assigned_to_id>2</assigned_to_id>
    <priority_id>4</priority_id>
  </issue>

More issue parameteres, visit: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_Issues

File: create_issue.sh

#!/bin/sh
#
# Crea un issue en el redmine
#
XML_POST=$1

# Parametros
LOG_FILE=/var/log/redmine/create_redmine_issue.log
BASEURL=http://192.168.0.5:3000
USERNAME=cron_username
PWD=passw_cron
TMPFILE=tmp_login.tmp

# Opciones del WGET
WOPTS="--cookies=on --load-cookies cookies.txt --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt -o$LOG_FILE" 

# Obtengo auth token
wget -O$TMPFILE $WOPTS $BASEURL/login/
AUTH1=$(grep authenticity $TMPFILE | cut -d\" -f12)
AUTH=$(perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('$AUTH1');")

# Me logueo
wget $BASEURL/login/ $WOPTS --post-data=authenticity_token=$AUTH\&username=$USERNAME\&password=$PWD\&login=Login -O$TMPFILE

# Creo el issue
wget -O /dev/null $WOPTS "$BASEURL/issues.xml" --post-file="$XML_POST" --header="Content-Type:text/xml" 

rm $TMPFILE
rm cookies.txt

You only need to change:

BASEURL=http://192.168.0.5:3000
USERNAME=cron_username
PWD=passw_cron

Hope help somebody !
