Java RSS and ATOM Ticker Reviews

The files have no extension, and could be .zip .tar.gz .tar.bzip or who knows.

Reply to https://sourceforge.net/users/?user_id=3417077 Last time I checked, jrsst sf download page offers 3 files: an exe file, a .jar file, and a file with no extension which is in fact a bash script with the jar file uuencoded. This is the beggining: #! /bin/bash trap 'rm -f /tmp/JRSST-2.2.2.jar' ERR rm -f /tmp/JRSST-2.2.2.jar UUDECODE=`which uudecode 2> /dev/null` if [ "$UUDECODE" = "" ] then UUDECODE=`which gmime-uudecode 2> /dev/null` if [ "$UUDECODE" = "" ] then echo "No uudecode command found in $PATH, exiting" exit 1 fi fi $UUDECODE -o /tmp/JRSST-2.2.2.jar << "ENDOFJAR" begin 600 /tmp/JRSST-2.2.2.jar M4$L#!!0`"``(`'!G?#X````````````````)``0`345402U)3D8O_LH```,` etc. You could run jrsst that way but i prefer to download the jar file and use this script: #!/bin/sh . ~/.jrsstrc eval feed=\$$1 exec java -jar /home/stormwatch/src/jrsst/JRSST-2.2.2.jar --undecorated=TRUE "$feed" EOF my ~./jrsstrc (note this is NOT the default ~/.jrsst): descargas='--init=file:///home/stormwatch/jrsst/descargas.xml' google='--opml=file:///home/stormwatch/jrsst/google.xml' rss='--init=file:///home/stormwatch/jrsst/rss.xml' EOF finally ~/jrsst/descargas.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <jrsst version="2.2.2"> <channel> <url>file:///home/stormwatch/html/feed/atom.xml</url> </channel> </jrsst> EOF ~/jrsst/rss.xml is almost the same but it uses a rss feed instead. Both atom.xml and rss.xml are created by Venus (the successor of Planet) feed aggregator. http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/ google.xml is the opml as exported by Google Reader. This way I can simply type for example 'jrsst descargas' at the command prompt.
