I am not sufficiently comfortable with BASH, Chron jobs, etc to be willing to set up an outside utility to do that. I manually download prices inside the GnuCash price database using Yahoo as JSON as the source. If I forget to do it in the late evening I sometimes try to do it in the morning before the market opens as I have several stock prices that I am also tracking. That is how I discovered the incorrect dates on the mutual funds prices, I am not sure if, for example, GnuCash downloads a stock price during the day, does it replace it with a closing price if it downloads again after the market closes. I suspect it may not even keep the timestamps that come with the prices, so there may not be any clue about that.
