canto-fetch

Canto-fetch(1)							    Canto-fetch 						    Canto-fetch(1)

NAME

       Canto-fetch - A quiet feed fetcher.

DESCRIPTION

       Canto-fetch  is	designed  to  be run through a cron job, every minute. Every time it's run, it checks the timestamp on each index file and
       updates the feed, if necessary. The format it produces is a simple UTF-8 encoded, NULL delimited text file on disk, readable by	the  canto
       client.

GETTING STARTED

       Canto-fetch is meant to be used through a cron, adding this line to your crontab will cause canto-fetch to poll every minute.

       * * * * * canto-fetch

       Alternatively,  if  you're unable/uncomfortable using cron, canto-fetch has a background daemon mode so you can invoke it in your X session
       scripts. Just use

       canto-fetch -b

USAGE

       These options correspond to options to the canto client.

       -h / --help
	      Print usage and quit.

       -v / --version
	      Print version and quit.

       -V / --verbose
	      Output status while updating.

       -d / --daemon
	      Continue to check for updates every minute. Mostly for debugging with -V, users probably want -b to background.

       -b / --background
	      Detach from the terminal (implies -d)

       -f / --force
	      Force updates on all feeds, ignoring timestamps.

       -s / --sysfp
	      Use feedparser on system instead of builtin copy.

       -C / --conf [PATH]
	      Set path to configuration file (default: ~/.canto/conf)

       -F / --fdir [PATH]
	      Set path to feed directory (default: ~/.canto/feeds/)

       -L / --log [PATH]
	      Set path to log (default: ~/.canto/fetchlog)

       -S / --sdir [PATH]
	      Set the path to execurl scripts (default ~/.canto/scripts/)

FILES

       ~/.canto/fetchlog
	      Canto-fetch log file.

       ~/.canto/feeds/
	      This is the directory where canto-fetch records stories.

BUGS

       None known, but it's not outside of the realm of possibility =P.
