rtconsole is a ncurses interface to RT. It uses Curses, POE, Curses::Widgets and other modules to provide a nice console base interface to the famous tracking system. To communicate with the RT server, it uses RT::Client::REST.
rtconsole is a script provided by the RT::Client::Console (CPAN page) module.
The source is hosted on code.google.com, the project page is here.
Simply use the cpan shell :
install RT::Client::ConsoleThen launch rtconsole :
$ rtconsole
If you want to install the module manually, download it from here.
You need some kind of UNIX I think. If Curses works on your system, then rtconsole might work. I have tested on linux and Mac OS X. I don't think it could work as is on Windows, but who knows? I couldn't test myself, if you have any feedback, please let me know. Same goes for Solaris
