[rt-users] Question about using a web form to create a request.

[Adam Clarke]

Have you looked at the command line interface instead of e-mail.

This would allow you to do what you want. I have only looked at this for a
second but an expect script would handle the process easily. Alternatively
you could play around with piping the responses to qt -create's prompts.

Hint: run the following command
rt -create

Cheers
