# rss-watch.pl
Perl script to monitor RSS feeds and execute scripts.
## config
The config file is stored in `~/.config/rss-watch/config`. Example configuration file:
```cfg
[feed "FeedName"]
url = https://rss.example.com/
script = /home/user/script_to_exec.sh '$title' '$link'
```
This will query the url specified by the `url` key for an RSS feed and execute the given script with the arguments `title` and `link` from the feed.
Multiple script keys can be specified on new lines, which will all be executed.
Only new entries will be acted on. The file `~/.local/share/rss-watch/latest/{FeedName}` will store the last `guid` value from the feed.
Use cron, or other tools to run this script periodically.
