I have told you: "man cron" and read the output.

to run it every 5th minute:

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /tmp/cache.sh

You could have read that there instead of asking here.

but again, this still may not work because your script doesn't have any environment settings when it is called from cron. When you call it in your shell, it inherits all the environment from it (issue "env" to see it), when you let cron call it it gets nothing and is left to what it sets by itself.

Ok, 'nuff said. I won't answer any more questions before you don't even attempt to get the answers yourself. I'm glad to help, but I'm a lousy man-page-replacement

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. HOMEPAGE
