Cocoa from the command line?

Hi all,

This probably caught your attention? -Why would I want to use Cocoa from the command-line ?

I've been thinking a lot about this; it keeps coming back to me, as I've made a cgi-script, which assembles my Web-sites, and I generate printable HTML-pages from the same template, that is used on the main Web-site.
But I want to do more. I want to make RTF and PDF files available to the user too.
So I thought: "Maybe I could just make a WebView, which I load my printable HTML-page into, and then I save it in a file" (See CocoaDevCentral).

Would this be possible directly from the command-line ? -It'd be silly, if I had to write everything from scratch.
If it's not possible from the command-line, is it possible to use the "open" command to generate a connection between the command-line tool and the HTML-to-PDF/RTF/RTFD program?
And last question: would this work from a CGI script too ? (It's not a must for me, though).

If anyone would like to use this idea, feel free, I don't plan to make money on it, I just want to make things easier for myself.. =)

...If I get it to work, I'll make the sources available...


Love,
Jens
