Working interactively isn't very confortable or easy, in my opinion,
since the interactive prompt doesn't autocompletion or anything.  I
place all the commands into the configuration file and run them from
there.  I also have aditional configuration files for things I do at
different times and I run them from cron at different intervals (hourly,
daily, weekly) depending on what they actually do.

Cheers,
