This mirror was created because of some kind of disruption with the original rsstail repository. As nearly as I can tell, the canonical source is now https://github.com/folkertvanheusden/rsstail (which seems to have branched off at b5dfa5a somewhat before this history ends).
rsstail is tail for RSS feeds
Basic usage:
rsstail -u URL -i CHECK_INTERVAL
For example a command below will check every 5 minutes if anything new was published:
$ rsstail -u http://www.filmhuisgouda.nl/rss/rss.php -i 300
Title: Que horas ela volta?
Title: 45 years
Title: Madame Bovary
...
rsstail -h will show a list of what rsstail can do for you.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install rsstail
rsstail depends on libmrss (version >= 0.7).
On Debian/Ubuntu libmrss will be installed automatically if you install rsstail or libmrss0-dev (as shown below) as package.
To compile source code you may need to run
sudo apt-get install libmrss0-dev libiconv-hook-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/flok99/rsstail.git
$ cd rsstail
$ sudo make install
