When the task is to run the website-stalker every once in a while the systemd timer comes in handy.
The systemd timer is included within the AUR package since version 0.7.
You can start it as a system timer via sudo systemctl enable --now website-stalker.timer.
The user timer is available since version 0.7.1 and can be started via systemctl --user enable --now website-stalker.timer.
If you do not use the AUR clone the repo instead:
Check out what the install.sh does in the system or user directory depending on what you want to install.
When you are comfortable with it, you can run it from the main directory:
# Choose the one you want
./systemd/system/install.sh
./systemd/user/install.shYou probably want to use a git repo within the working directory of the service.
Head over to the working directory (see a list of possible locations below) and create your git repo (git init).
Also, you need to create the configuration file website-stalker.yaml in the folder.
Check website-stalker example-config or the main README.md for an example.
Possible working directory locations depending on your installation:
- system service:
/var/lib/website-stalker/ - user:
$HOME/.website-stalker/
You can change the time interval of the systemd timer with the following commands (depending on your installation):
# System timer
sudo systemctl edit website-stalker.timer
sudo systemctl restart website-stalker.timer
# User timer
systemctl --user edit website-stalker.timer
systemctl --user restart website-stalker.timer
