auto update RSS feeds?

[nferreri]

anyone know of a mod/script or whatever I can use to auto update RSS feeds without traffic to site? possibly a good crontab script or something?

thanks

Well if you have shell access you could do a crontab something like.

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * wget --delete-after http://www.domain.net/forums/index.php >/dev/null 2>&1

This will load your page every 10 minutes which will update your rss feeds.

Ya I did one similar to that, hitting the index page but it didn't seem to be updating the RSS feeds... is there some more advanced "activity" that needs to be hit in order to trigger the updates? Is there no direct script I can reference that forces update on the feeds?

thanks for reply

Have you tested the feed in a regular RSS reader to see how often it gets updated?
