Create your own newspages

Using bash over simplified to create a web page so that you do not have to go to a bunch of web pages and therefore you miss the ads. Update: You can find the similar code for the sub-programs in earlier articles.

Update new section to add to script

#--------------------------------------------------------
# cnn
echo "<h3>CNN Headines</h3>" >> report.html
echo "<pre>" >> report.html
# creates cnn.txt
./cnn.sh > cnn.txt
echo "<pre>" >> report.html
cat cnn.txt >> report.html
echo "</pre>" >> report.html

Original script

#----------------------------------------------
# daily journal
echo "<html>" > report.html
echo "<body>" >> report.html
echo "<script>" >> report.html
echo "var d=new Date();" >> report.html
echo "document.write('<h2> Journal for ');" >> report.html
echo "document.write(d);" >> report.html
echo "document.writeln('</h2>');" >> report.html
echo "</script>" >> report.html
#  echo Journal for: $(date) >> report.html
 echo "<hr>" >> report.html
#------------------------------------------------
# weather
echo "<h3>The weather</h3>" >> report.html
echo "<pre>" >> report.html
# creates tw
gwhtml.sh  20201 >> tw
echo "<pre>" >> report.html
cat tw >> report.html
echo "</pre>" >> report.html
# display weather map
echo "<img src="http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Thumbs/LWX.png" alt="" width=300 height=450 />" >> report.html
#-------------------------------------------------
# horoscope
echo "<h3>The horoscope</h3>" >> report.html
# creates h
ghphtml.sh virgo > h
echo "<pre>" >> report.html
cat h >> report.html
echo "</pre>" >> report.html
echo "</body>"  >> report.html
echo "</html>" >> report.html
