 o If the entry is auto-formated or not
 o Set security levels of the entry; can be public, private,

When the post has been made the URL where the post can be found. ljpost can pull the LiveJournal username and password from a file - $HOME/.livejournal The format of this file is simple; based on key/value pairs. Blank lines and lines starting with a # are ignored. Otherwise there are two available keys User and Pass. These are separated from their values by = signs. For example:

  User = test
