Setup:
===========================



edit config files and run bot!

(1) rssLinks.txt (semi-colon separates fields): 

url;channel1,channel2;color;search term1, search term2, search term3

Example: http://newyork.craigslist.org/sss/index.rss;#rss-scout,#channel-2;cyan;xbox,360,battlefield 3

Use "all" (without quotes) for a search term to have all feeds sent to channel

Acceptable colors: black, blue, bold, brown, cyan, dark_blue, dark_gray, dark_green, green, light_gray, magenta, olive, purple, red, teal, white, yellow, normal

(2) scout.conf

operLine is in case you want to oper the bot so it can post with a really low messageDelay for faster posting to chan (safe setting is 750)
timeBetweenSearches is in minutes
lastReadLoc for windows is lastRead\\, linux is lastRead/ 


===========================
To start bot: 
===========================

windows: click RssScout.jar or run java -jar RssScout.jar from command line (clicking will run in background, command line you will see details)
linux: java -jar RssScout.jar from terminal

To kill process in windows look for javaw process and end it (assumes you are only running one java application)

Windows tip: to easily run from command line go to folder where RssScout.jar is, hold shift and right click in the window, select "open command prompt here"
then just type java -jar RssScout.jar
