Hi,
I know this is not a Fedora specific question but perhaps if someone here
knows of a solution we could discuss the matter off list.
I get google news alerts every day on a variety of topics. These are short
text snippets with URLs to (typically) newspaper articles on-line. But
sometimes I go away and don't check for a few weeks. Some, I think a lot, of
newspapers, have a policy of taking down pages after an interval. Access
subsequently is either lost or behind a fee barrier.
In an ideal world, I would be able to have a daily program (script?) run that
would examine that day's alerts, resolve the URLs and save the pages. Then
when I get around to reading them they are safely tucked away on my hard
drive.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
