I'm working on a shell script that will take news headlines from google news and email them to me. It uses google's categories (business, entertainment, health, sports, science/technology, usa, world) and lets you choose how many headlines you'd like from each category (can be 0, A for all, or another number).
wget pulls the pages from google, then the script processes the pages. You get an email with the category heading, the headlines and links to the stories, something like this: technology ==================== Another Clone Milestone as a Mule is Born in Idaho http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/30/science/30MULE.html?ex=1054872000&en=cba8ad0ec90f675e&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE Novell Douses 'Smoking Gun' Against SCO http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1112253,00.asp Amazon vs. Apple in music downloads? http://news.com.com/2100-1027_3-1011293.html I'll add this to a cron job so it's waiting for me when I arrive at work. I would certainly appreciate your trying it out and giving some feedback. You can get it at http://clevername.homeip.net/gnews Todd
