I don't know much about the inner workings of gc but I think it doesn't make

intraday quotes.
I recently started with Gnucash and am writing a small perl script to fetch
quotes, and I am keeping only one quote per day, updating the previous one from
the same day. Later on I plan to add those quotes to the gnucash data file.
Currently I just read the commodities of a gnucash file and keep the quotes in
a separate file.
As the new subject indicates, don’t do that. Use Finance::Quote, which is in
CPAN. If you have a source that F::Q doesn’t support write an import module for
your source. That way the GnuCash integration is already taken care of.

Hi John
well, yes I am ;-) Thanks to your help I was able to get F::Q working.
Some funds that I need where not supported so I wrote a new F::Q module.
That module will be made available for inclusion in F::Q, but it needs
some more cleanup and I want to test it a little longer.
The script I wrote about is using F::Q, of course. The problem I have is
I need to schedule the qupdate quotes job on my little gentoo server.
There is no X on it and this it won't install gnucash. Here comes the
script. It reads the commodities from my data file and writes the quotes
to a separate sqlite database. The next step will be to check for the
lock and if not present write the quotes to the gnucash file.
I know that there's an option in gnucash to update quotes, but as I
can't install gnucash and to get some more experience with perl I
started to write my script. Hopefully I will be able to contribute a
little back to gnucash - getting gnucash to build without all the X
libraries to update the quotes is well beyond my capabilities and time.
thanks, Hajo
