[Xastir] Radar Overlay Question

[Luka]

Hi, John!

If I were you, I'd make a script in cron.hourly that would wget picture
and save it into directory where you have Xastir pictures. Only thing
left to do is to force Xastir to reload maps.

Here's what I'd do:

#!/bin/bash
cd /where/you/have/pics/
wget -r http://www.met.ie/weathermaps/latest_radar.gif

Kind regards,
Luka

BOFH Excuse #292:

We ran out of dial tone and we're and waiting for the phone company to
deliver another bottle.
