The crossbow-fetch
command is part of
crossbow(1), the
cron(8)-friendly RSS aggregator. It is
responsible for retrieving, parsing, and processing all new items of the
tracked feeds. In order to be tracked, a feed must be registered via
crossbow-set(1).
If crossbow-fetch
is invoked without
options all registered feeds are updated. By supplying an
identifier via the -i
flag,
only the corresponding feed is updated.
A feed is updated by the following sequence of actions:
-D
flag.-d
flag is supplied.-D
subproc
or pipe
output
modes. Print some information on what would have been run instead.-c
-D
, but the processing
is skipped entirely, even for feeds configured with the
print
or pretty
output
mods.-d
-h
-i
identifier-j
jobs-v
By placing this string in a crontab, a check for updates will be run automatically every two hours:
0 0-23/2 * * * crossbow-fetch
If the local mail is configured properly, the output produced by the invocation should be delivered in the user's mailbox.
