[Old Thread] News auto download and email on headless server
Thanks, Kovid, for a wonderful piece of software.
I have been very impressed by the News download feature with automatic email to my Kindle. However I don't like leaving my noisy and power-hungry desktop on for scheduled downloads. I have a low-power Sheevaplug device which runs Debian Squeeze "headless" and I wonder if it would be possible to set a cron job to achieve this?
Can I invoke the command line tools to download and convert the Guardian and Glasgow Herald news sites as per the GUI? Sorry if this has been asked a million times before but I couldn't find anything on the forum...
Best wishes
NMP
