Description:

YARS 1.0

Author:

Finds new files (called ‘items’) on a set of RSS feeds.
You can get help pages for every command by appending -h. I.e.:

yars add feed -h


Example usages:

Download everything:
yars run | xargs -r wget

Display images from referenced pages:
yars run | xargs -r wget -q -O - | grep -o -E ‘http[^”]*.jpeg’

Download torrents, get files by ctorrent, finally delete torrents:

yars run | grep -F ‘.torrent’ | tee newfiles | xargs -r wget
&& cat newfiles | xargs -r -L 1 ctorrent -E 1.5 -a && cat newfiles | xargs -r rm && rm newfiles






Example scenario for quickstart:

Add a new feed:

yars add feed
“Dilbert Strips” “http://feeds.dilbert.com/DilbertDailyStrip”



Add a new item:
yars add item –search-words “Comic for” “part of comics’ caption”

Download images from the feeds’ summary:
yars run –summary | grep -o -E ‘http[^”]*.gif’ | xargs -r wget


Most probably you will want to use --prefix "comics" for all
these commands to separate them i.e., from podcasts.
