Hi guys,

I've got akregator running, but the probelm is that for some feeds the update interval of 1 min is too much time!

So is there anyway I can force and update of akregator from the command line - so I can write a quick script to do it for me say every 20 seconds?

Any particular reason why you need to update the feed every 20 seconds? Most services would consider this abusive.

All the items on a toolbar are actually actions in the application. Therefore you may find this as a good start point:

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.akregator /akregator/MainWindow_1/actions

I don't understand what this code is above - I'm not an expert with Linux but I assume you are trying to get QT to call a function within akregator?

EDIT:;

OK, ok I see what this is doing - but I can't see the akregator thing in the runned D0bus services?

This command can only be used while Akregator is running on the system. It is executed in Konsole, and will return a list of arguments which you can then experiment with to cause a refresh. ( You need to find the action for fetch all feeds which will be one of the returned arguments )

After a bit of googling I figured out what DBus was and how it's used (the bare bones).

However akregator IS running - but the qdbus command returns the following:

Code: Select all

:1.0
 org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent
 org.kde.policykit-kde-5480
:1.1
 org.kde.kupdateapplet
:1.3
org.freedesktop.DBus

No mention of akregator - i've tried looking through some of the using qdbusviewer but it doesn't seem to come up?

Could this be because I am running openSUSE 11.1 with Compiz window manager running?

BTW - you have been a superb help!!!!!!! :-):-):-)

Which user are you logging in as? I use a normal, non-root user.

Normal user - since KDE saves the session akregator gets loaded automatically. I'm running KDE3 by the way.

Aha!

Then you should be looking at DCOP instead
E.g.

Code: Select all

% dcop akregator AkregatorIface
