Updating EPG

Hi

I recently discovered the wonder of Webgrab and I'm making my own EPG's now and its great, I do have 1 question as I have set my WebGrab++.config.xml (attached) like so

  <filename>EPG.xml</filename>
  <mode></mode>
  <postprocess grab="y" run="n">mdb</postprocess>
  <user-agent>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0</user-agent>
  <logging>on</logging>
  <retry time-out="5">4</retry>
  <timespan>7</timespan>
  <update>f</update>

I have all the channels set and linked to the ini file from the provider I grab from, it works perfectly but I want to know whats the best way to set my WebGrab++.config.xml so that when its run everyday it just updates the EPG.xml with any new data and not replace the whole file, this way its running as quickly as it can and not re-making a new EPG every day, lol

Cheers

Hi,

Perfect, thank you laugh

Just 1 last question, I have installed WG++ on my Linux VPS and I have linked the EPG.xml to my config file and I can run updates, do you have any advice of getting this done at 1am by the server and not me loging on, lol. I'm not very good with cron/bash jobs so any advice?

Cheers
