    Hey folks,

    I have been using Datagrab for about a week now or so and had a question that I couldnt seem to find the answer to.

    Is there any way to make Datagrab update your feeds automatically? For some reason it seems like I have to click run on each of my feeds every time I wish to update and get new articles.

    So any way to make it automatically do this once a day or twice a week?

    Thanks in advance!

    Cron is probably your best bet. =)

    Know any useful links to educate me on Cron?
    Possibly with examples?

    Cron is a server-side scheduling system.  I’ll move this to the CodeShare Corner so that others with cron experience can help.
