nopaste - command-line interface to http://rafb.net/paste/

This is a simple script to facilitate sharing text through http://rafb.net/paste/. Like most UNIX utilities, it can take stdin or files on the command-line. Additionally nopaste can use the X cut buffer for input, designed to be used with a window-manager key binding or panel launcher.

The resulting URLs are printed to stdout and additionally placed in the X cut buffer for quick pasting.
