example of bash script on a raspberry pi for checking mangas

[nestukh]

becasue github is stupid and there isn't a 'suggestion box and related stuff' for projects (outside source repos), or even private messages so this is not a real issue, just an example for anyone interested, maybe to add to the wiki or whatever completed with commented install instructions and general tips for raspbian https://gist.github.com/nestukh/5397b836c8e5f34f6feb4ec4efe6b86a

@nestukh thanks!

I can grant to you the permissions to write the wiki section if you'd like to 😄

[nestukh]

thank you I appreciate it, but that's not necessary you can put a link to it or copypaste it

[Girbons]

Yes I will.

Eitherway I was thinking to introduce this functionality by default using the config file.

something like:

run_as_deamon: "true"
# seconds
run_every: "120"
mangas_to_check: [....]

@nestukh let me know what maybe could be useful

[nestukh]

I guess stuff on the Board is enough A deamon is probably good for people who use comics-dowloader directly on their pc/laptop, especially for not-that-much-tech-savvy people (on average 70% of humans, but perhaps manga readers are a slightly better bunch)

[Girbons]

@nestukh thanks for the feedback,

Maybe before providing a deamon I need to reduce the overhead of the downloader, I should already have reduced resources utilization but I guess that's not enough yet.

[nestukh]

maybe is resource-intesive but that's ok, it isn't intended to real-time usage
