Write a small command that grabs the name and address and then calls hyrolo-add

automatically.

You could program that as well or have someone do it for you.

That's pretty much what hyrolo-add does.

Yes, it looks if an entry is there and if so, updates the date and let's you 
edit the entry manually.

It would be easy for a programmer or a smart person willing to study and try a 
few things.
