Hi I need a script to monitor an RSS feed and send me an email every hour containing a (plain text) summary of all of the updates in that time. I've seen various RSS to email scripts but they don't seem to have the capability to summarise multiple items (and it could, possibly, be an awful lot of new items on the feed) into a single email?? Any help hugely appreciated! Regards Chris
Can you list the RSS to email scripts you have evaluated? If one or more are open-source, we should be able to modify it to support summary-based notification.
Thanks for the reply - I'm not in the office at the moment (which is where I've kept the list of stuff I@ve looked at) but I will reply with more information in the next few days. If anybody else could recommend a script in the meantime I'd be thankful! It doesn't have to be free or open source (but it would be nice). Cheers all
You could merge the feeds using RSSmesh then use an RSS to email tool. There is a huge list of tools for RSS management here: http://www.rss-specifications.com/huge-list-rss-tools.htm
