# 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' '$guid<isPermaLink>'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will query the url specified by the `url` key for an RSS feed and execute the given script with the arguments `title` and `link` from the feed.
|
|
Attributes can be selected by enclosing the attribue key in `<>` characters. For example, to select the `isPermaLink` attribute of the `guid` key, the selector would be `$guid<isPermaLink>`.
|
|
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.
