Add a post type record to wp-post from command line. Doesn't take content (yet), needs work.

gistfile1.txt

<?php
if (isset($argv[1])) $title = $argv[1]; else { print "Usage php wpinsert TITLE POSTTYPE \n -- POSTTYPE is optional and defaults to page\n"; exit; }
if (isset($argv[2])) $type = $argv[2]; else { print "Post type defaulting to PAGE\n"; $type="page"; }

//required include files
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
require('wp-blog-header.php');
require_once("wp-config.php");
require_once("wp-includes/wp-db.php");


//-- Set up post values
		$myPost = array(
			'post_status' => 'publish',
			'post_type' => $type,
			'post_author' => 1,
			'post_title' => $title,
			'comment_status' => 'closed',
			'ping_status' => 'closed',
		);

		//-- Create the new post
$newPostID = wp_insert_post($myPost);
if ($newPostID) 
	print "\nNew ".$type." '". $title ."' created with id=".$newPostID."\n";
else print "\n Insert Failed!  :-( \n";

Why not use wp-cli? hmmm....
