I have been using XBMC for quite some time but i appreciate my linux knowledge is lacking.

im using an mx2 dual core with linux latest buildroot and gotham 13.1 my question

is there a way i could get the box to run a cron for me i would like it to just wget a file from my webserver and store it in userdata overwriting the file each time.

any addons that i could use or suggestions would be most helpfull

thank you very much

crontab -e enables you to edit your crontab file, then just set your script to run as often as you like. The format of the script will be something like:

/usr/bin/wget http://serveraddress/path/to/fileyouwant -O /home/username/.xbmc/userdata/filename.xml

thanks nick thats what im after just need to figure out the paths on this mx2 box
