Thank you for your work. It's running excellently here.

@chadananda you can call the script directly from the command line, so running it from cron should be no problem. Running it every reboot might be unwise though, as one of the last things it does is restart the gui.

edit: That said, I don't seem to be able to get cron to obey an @reboot command. Perhaps as a workaround run collgen.sh once or twice a day, at times when the device is rarely in use? I have immediately after fetching newspapers in mind.
