cli-arguments

dapnet_ics.py

This will fetch a .ics-file from a webserver and parse it for upcomming events. Actually there is no check, what we uploaded last time, so the script will always upload all events. You would like to run this script once oder twice a day.

dapnet_rss.py

This will fetch a rss.xml from a webserver and parse it for latest news. It is checking, what was latest news at last runtime and only upload new news, except you are overriding by --force. You would like to run this script @hourly.
