Hi,
I want to put a call to my hpodder (podcaster) in a script that runs all
the time.
So I can have my computer on and when the time hits 7 am or between 7
and 10 am it will podcast.
This is because I get better download speeds earlier in the morning.
So what script could I add an if statement to that could then just
simpley run
hpodder update
If the time is correct?
I heard about crontab.
I read
man crontab but didn't find much.
try 'man 5 crontab', that will tell you the format of the crontab file
For your case, I think the following line should work
0 7 * * * /path/to/script.sh
I did;
crontab -e
And got a blank file.
So if I should use crontab then could someone please send me a sample file?
Its ok if it calls my /home/daniel/scripts/hpodder.sh
script.
I'll just add code in there to check...
Thanks for any help,
