Pinging

[JM]

What software do you all use to ping your newspaper? I would like to
set it up on a schedule as well, but no idea on where to start.

Thanks.

If your organization has a server or desktop computer that is always on and always connected to the Internet, this is the best option. Then you would need to create a Scheduled Task (Windows) or cron job (Linux) to ping the URL. If you are running on Windows you will also need to download WGET from http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/ and install it on the computer running the scheduled task. Then, the scheduled task should execute "wget <url>" where url is the URL you see after you generate a newspaper using FeedJournal Publisher.

3 clarifications:
1. Enclose the URL with quotation marks
2. To use wget w/o downloading anything use the spider switch.
3. RSS URLs cannot contain &. If they do, please wrap that RSS URL as
a tinyurl, or similar.

Like so:
wget --spider "url"
