I'm using Weblinks to display a "live" feed of the latest Yahoo! news headlines to my frontpage. Weblinks requires me to go into the Administration panel, choose "Managemnt of RSS/ATOM feed," and then click the "Refresh cache of link data" button to retrieve the latest data. Does anyone know of a way to automate this procedure (CRONTAB?) or of another module/method to get live news updates in a center block on my frontpage?

Thanks in advance!

If you read the documentation that came with the module, you can set up a cron job to do this automatically.

It is there, and it will help you. Although I never got it to work with my cPanel Account.

Thank you. However, I was hoping for someone who actually got the CRONTAB to work using the authors instructions or perhaps using another module to respond. I attempted to follow the instructions listed in the documentation, but auto-refresh of RSS/ATOM using the script created does not work. Thank you again for your reply.
