Adding the following line to your crontab will retrieve quotes on the first of each month at midnight local time: 0 0 1 * * gnucash --add-price-quotes $HOME/test_account Standard cron caveats apply. I.E. the program must be found in the standard search path (which for cron is /usr/bin:/bin), and the path name must be a full path if cron doesn't automatically change to your home directory. See the crontab(5) man page for more details. > and people do not have a clue of what the gnucash.xac is. It was an example name for a data file. The program was originally called xaccountant, thus the ".xac" extension. > I still think this part can be clarified in chapter 8. Clarified, not > detailed... Does this help?
