Yep you can use crontab -e and wget on unix to set up a job, e.g.

0 8 * * * wget -O /dev/null "http://www.wherever.com/vbulletin/news2vb.php?jaction=postnews&jpassword=blah&jcateg ory=Sports%253A%2520soccer%252 0news&jforum=1"

I just set the variables in the PHP file itself, since vB Cron does not allow variables in the URL. So you need separate PHP files for each forum/news.

Nice one, thanks a lot . Only one question, can I add more sites to read notices or only moreover ones are supported? If so, how can I add more notices?

Is it possible to get this hack to work with any RSS feed?

No this only works with Moreover CSV feeds.

To make it work with RSS would be slightly more complex; first you'd need to integrate it with MagpieRSS and then use that to produce the items in the list.

Is there a demand for this?
