SW_DevNews

Device Module "News"

Description

The news device monitors a configurable directory for new entries and prints the content of such files at the teleprinter. It is only useful in conjunction with the tool rssFileWriter.py from the RSS subdirectory which collects and provides printable files for the news module from configurable RSS-feeds. Be careful to specify the same pathname as for rssFileWriter.py.
