Take $x(0)=x_0$ and $x(T)=x_T$. Minimize 
$$I=\int_0^TL(x,\dot{x})\,dt\;\;\text{with}\;\;L=(\dot{x}+x)^2$$ 
by solving the Euler-Lagrange equation,
$$\frac{\partial L}{d x}=\frac{d}{dt}\frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{x}}.$$
The solution is
$$x(t)=a e^t+be^{-t},\;\;a=\frac{e^T x_T-x_0}{e^{2 T}-1},\;\;b= \frac{e^{2T} x_0-e^T x_T}{e^{2 T}-1}.$$
The resulting integral is
$$I=(\coth T-1) \left(x_0-e^T x_T\right)^2.$$
We still need to minimize this by varying $x_0$ and $x_T$ in the interval $[m,M]$, at fixed $T$.

We need to consider several cases:

• If $mM\leq 0$, we can just take $x_0=0=x_T$ and reach the minimal $I=0$.

• If $mM>0$ and $T\leq\ln(M/m)$ we can take $x_0=me^T$, $x_T=m$ to reach the minimal $I=0$.

• If $mM>0$ and $T>\ln(M/m)$ the minimum is reached at the end points of the interval, $x_0=M$, $x_T=m$, with $I=(\coth T-1) \left(M-e^T m\right)^2$.
