Cronrss
		    Old style RSS feed

 http://freaknet.org/alpt/src/utils/cronrss
 
 It verifies if the web page pointed by a given URL has changed.
 If it has, cronrss will send a notice email to you.
 The URL list is kept in the ~/.cronrss/url text file (one URL per line).

 It is very useful to use URLs which point to rss feeds.

 *** Usage:
 
 1) Put all the URLs you want to check in the ~/.cronrss/url text file (one
    URL per line).
 
 2) Run cronrss

	   cronrss [-d [seconds]]

 If the `-d' option is specified, it will check periodically the URLs. 
 You can specify its frequency in seconds (default is 1800s = 30min)

	   cronrss update

 Each time you modify the url_list, you have to run `cronrss update`

 *** Examples: 

 	 echo http://www.hackaday.org >> ~/.cronrss/url
	 cronrss update
	 cronrss -d
	 # From this point on, whenever hackday.org changes you will get an
	 email
 	 # which shows you the text differences
 	 # Since hackaday has a rss feed it is better to use this URL instead:
 	 # http://www.hackaday.com/rss.xml
