EXAMPLE CRON JOB
Once podget is running acceptably, its most useful if you run it from a cron job so that the new songs are available to play or load onto a portable player and you dont have to wait for them to download. To edit your crontab, do: $ crontab -e Then insert one line (i for insert mode), like the following: 15 04 * * * /usr/bin/podget -s This will run podget at 4:15 AM every day. AUTOMATIC CLEANUP
You can enabled automatic cleanup with every run by configuring it in your $HOME/.podget/podgetrc file. Simply set the following options: # Autocleanup. # 0 == disabled # 1 == delete any old content cleanup=1 # Number of days to keep files. Cleanup will remove anything # older than this. cleanup_days=7 However, some people prefer to run cleanup as a seperate cron session. To do that, set the options in .podgetrc to: # Autocleanup. # 0 == disabled # 1 == delete any old content cleanup=0 # Number of days to keep files. Cleanup will remove anything # older than this. cleanup_days=7 And add a cron job to run cleanup, like one of these examples: # Once a week on Sunday at 04:15AM 15 04 * * Sun /usr/bin/podget -C SESSION CONTROL
Podget checks for already running sessions when it starts and exits if any are found. Each session requires its own core configuration file, so for multiple sessions simply provide a unique -c <configfile> option for each. EXAMPLE SERVER LIST
By default, Podget uses $HOME/.podget/serverlist for the default list of servers to contact. However you can configure the name with the config_serverlist variable in your $HOME/.podget/podgetrc file. The default format is: <url> <category> <name> Note: Category must be one word. Example: # Default Server List for podget # FORMAT: <url> <category> <name> # NOTE: Category must be one word http://www.distortedview.com/show/index.xml Humor Distorted View http://www.podcastingnews.com/forum/links.php?func=show&id=214 IT In the Trenches http://www.lugradio.org/episodes.rss Linux LUG Radio http://thelinuxlink.net/tllts/tllts.rss Linux The Linux Link http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/mp3/podcast.xml Philosophy BBC: In Our Time http://www.privacyfreaks.org/podcast.php privacy Privacy Freaks http://www.rsasecurity.com/blog/rssfeed.asp security Speaking of Security http://dl.chickencat.com/podcast.php privacy Digital Liberties http://feeds.feedburner.com/LiveAmmo security LiveAmmo HANDLING UTF-16 FEEDS Some servers provide their feeds in UTF-16 format rather than the more common UTF-8. To automatically convert these files, create a secondary serverlist at: $HOME/.podget/serverlist.utf16 Remember to change the name of the serverlist to match what you set it to with config_serverlist if you changed it.
