I have been using OTRS for a while and have not read anything about a command line iinterface. However, looking at your question, my first thought would be to write a Perl program to do the sql queries and then still in Perl, generate and send an email to OTRS that then could put the request in to the correct queues for you based on subject lines. But then again I could be missing something here.

I have a few questions that I would like answers for to help make a decision on what to use: I understand that you can create tickets via the customer interface/ the admin interface and via email... is there a way to create a ticket via a commandline interface? -What I am trying to do is create tickets based on sql queries of an external database that changes on a weekly basis. Once the information has been extracted from the external DB I would like to create a ticket for each one and insert it into a preliminary queue in OTRS. I have been investigating RT as well and am intrigued by the scip functionality they use. Is there the ability to run a similar event when a ticket moves into or leaves a queue automatically? I have read that the ITSM manual isn't complete yet, hopefully once that comes out I will be able to RTFM and solve these questions by myself, but until then does anyone have any suggestions.
