LCDTicker is a newsticker for LCDproc. It downloads news from an RSS newsserver and prints it on a display.

At the moment LCDTicker supports only the first line on a display, because I have a one line display.

Installation

extract the archive, type

"make"

and then

"make install" (make sure you are root at this moment),

copy lcdticker.conf to /etc

"cp lcdticker.conf /etc"

if do your start lcdticker automatically an systemstart, copy lcdtickerd to /etc/init.d

"cp lcdtickerd /etc/init.d"

create a Symlink to /etc/rc2.d as example

"ln -s /etc/inid.d/lcdtickerd /etc/rc2.d/S89lcdtickerd"

and for the shutdown

"ln -s /etc/init.d/lcdtickerd /etc/rc0.d/K10lcdtickerd"
