If you can do the terminal bullshit, you can have cron do the terminal bullshit for you. 1. Stick the stuff you do in the terminal into a file, starting with #!/bin/sh 2. chmod +x /path/to/terminal/bullshit 3. crontab -e, and add something like Now you'll get your updates at 1 in the morning every Monday. 00 1 * * 1 /path/to/terminal/bullshit
Thing of it is, you know what all that gobbledygook means. I read it the way I read French. I mean, I get the language, I acknowledge the payload of knowledge, and I can no more speak it fluently than I can speak Japanese. Perhaps one of these days. But not today.
