Checking and Importing from the Command Line

Is it possible to run a query on the library from the command line, and then (for me at least) to run a command to import a specific file into the library?

I'm on Mac OSX if that's any help.

The reason I ask is that I've got my stanza download script (webscriptions) working, the next bit I need is to be able to automate the import into Calibre (preferably being able to enter the meta data that I have available as well).

Regards

Mark

Heh, this is all I need to keep my Webscriptions purchased items updated in Calibre, now I wonder if I can persuade Fictionwise to produce a feed so I can do the same there (and possibly tag it multiformat etc so I can err, convert DRM'd files as well)....
