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 CLEANUPYou 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 -CSESSION CONTROLPodget 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 LISTBy 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.AUTHORSDave VehrsDOCJanuary 06, 2007 podget.man(7)
