      1 # canteen-info
      2 Fetch and parse homepages from canteens nearby the Department of Geoscience,
      3 Aarhus University, and display their weekly menus as a single html page.  Up
      4 to date output can be found on
      5 [cs.au.dk/~adc/files/canteeninfo.html](https://cs.au.dk/~adc/files/canteeninfo.html).

     10 The package requires standard POSIX tools included in most modern Linux
     11 distributions, as well as `wget` and `html2text`.

     13 To install run:
     14 
     15     $ sudo make install
     16 
     17 To generate the output HTML webpage run:
     18 
     19     $ canteeninfo
     20 
     21 The HTML file will be output. To save it as a file in the current folder run
     22 `canteeninfo > ./canteeninfo.html`. I recommend copying the file to the www root
     23 folder if the machine hosts a webserver or transfering the file to a webserver
     24 using SCP. It is also recommended to automatically regenerate the page with a
     25 cron job, (``crontab -e``). For example:
     26 
     27     30 *   * * *   canteeninfo > /tmp/canteeninfo.html && scp /tmp/canteeninfo.html adc@fh.cs.au.dk:~/public_html_cs/files > ~/.canteeninfo.log
     28 
     29 To uninstall run:
     30 
     31     $ sudo make uninstall
