Automatic RSS check and output to text file (помогите! help!)

[Андрей]

Good afternoon!

Can you help me? I have a task like this:

There is an RSS-url
I need at intervals of, say, 30 minutes, check for the latest news in this RSS, and if there is fresh news, then save it to a text file bookmarks.txt format:

article link - article title.

I found a sample script, and reworked it to save it in the format I mentioned above:

url="$1"
title="$2"
description="$3"
feed_title="$4"

echo "${url} ${title}" > bookmarks.txt

But now how do I automate this process? I.e. what is the key to start newsboat so that it executes bookmark immediately, with the news that it has already saved in bookmarks.txt, so that it marks as read and next time that it skips them!

Newsboat is meant to be driven by a human, so it's not possible to
completely automate this. I think a better approach would be to use
Python and its feedparser module, or maybe rsstail utility and some
command-line fu. Best of luck!
