bashpodder
I use bashpodder http://lincgeek.org/bashpodder/
— need to get xsltproc (it will run without it – but can be buggy)
sudo apt-get install xsltproc
— make it executeable
sudo chmod 755 bashpodder.shell
how to cron
–makes the running of scripts. Simply!
–Add a cron job. Open your cron tab:
$ crontab -e
cron it – mines runs at 2.30 every night
--Now you need to now the path to the bashpodder.shell script. I’ve set it up to where my path is --podcasts/bashpodder.shell . --Now how to set it up or write it in our cron tab file. The format is: ---* * * * * [COMMAND] --1st * – Min (00-59) --2nd * – Hour (00-23) --3rd * – Day of the month (00-31) --4th * – Month (01-12) --5th * – Day of the week ( 01-07) --Example: --00 03 * * * [command] Would be an entry to run a script every night at 3am. And that’s when I have bashpodder run. --My entry looks like this: 30 02 * * * podcasts/bashpodder.shell --It runs at 2:30am every night. --If i wanted it to run every Sunday at 3:30am, it would look like this: --35 03 * * 07 podcasts/bashpodder.shell --It seems that the week starts on a Monday in cronland. I think we get the point. Experiment, play around with it.
how to add podcast
1. add a line to bp.conf
e.g. “http://feeds.99percentinvisible.org/99percentinvisible”
2. then run
cd /podcasts ./bashpodder.shell
Recommendation
if I had to recommend one podcast I’d go for http://99percentinvisible.org/
