MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - start 'fetch news' process from the command prompt

poldem · 03-17-2011, 10:21 AM

I would like to be able to get a fresh copy of selected news to my reader by email on request (I have the possibility to start a batch file from a remote location over the internet).
This would be very helpful during vacation - I do not need the news all the time, but I want to get a fresh copy when I request it.

To achieve this I need to
1. create a fresh news copy (starting an already defined job in calibre) FOUND THIS IN FORUM
2. request sending of the result to an email address.

I am intersted how to do this from the command prompt.
1. solution: ebook-convert resources\recipes\my.recipe c:\temp\my.epub

Plan B if this is not possible

Assuming that Calibre is running, how to schedule a new job (news fetch of an already defined job)
Emailing is already possible after job completition.
