Having once again noticed that there is an "extreme cold" weather warning issued for my area for this afternoon and tonight (dropping to -52 degrees in the next few hours, apparently), it occurs to me that it would be very handy to be able to get a pop-up notification of weather warnings on my desktop. I use the gnome weather applet, but to the best of my current knowledge it doesn't have the capability of automatically reporting weather warnings. Is there something else that can do that?
wget http://www.weather.gov/view/national.php?prod=WSW grep <your city or area> 'national.php?prod=WSW' if [ $? == 0 ]; then aplay weather_warning; fi Do it in a cron once an hour (or whatever) Regards, John
