calibre & cron problem
I am trying to set up cron to gather several feeds on a scheduled basis. The following command generates the feeds file for the Associated Press and stores the file as "associated press.lrf" in a folder called 'newspapers' on the desktop.
Code:
feeds2lrf --output='desktop/newspapers/associated press.lrf' 'Associated Press' What have I missed? |

You need to supply an absolute path to --output

Kovid
I must be extremely dense today! But: From the terminal the command: Code:
feeds2lrf --output=test.lrf 'Associated Press' And the command" Code:
feeds2lrf --output=Desktop/newspapers/test.lrf 'Associated Press' On the other hand from crontab the command: Code:
feeds2lrf --output=test.lrf 'Associated Press' and the command: Code:
feeds2lrf --output='Macintosh HD'/Users/Me/Desktop/newspapers/test.lrf 'Associated Press' Code:
feeds2lrf --output='Macintosh HD':Users:Me:Desktop:newspapers:test.lrf 'Associated Press' To the root of "Macintosh HD" (note that the slashes are part of the file name and are not path delimiters.) Now I know I must have done something incredibly stupid, but I am lost. |

Use --output="/Users/Me/output.lrf"

Darn, that should have been obvious. You said absolute, not fully delimited. In any event it works like a champ now.
Thanks. |
