Xfce terminal has a file action support for url so the output of the script will be displayed on Terminal and the url can be click from there.
# this will emerge the xfce dependencies
emerge -avDt xfce-extra/terminal
# curl is needed to read on rss page
emerge -avDt curl
# adapted script
nano -w ~/.rsschannel/slashdot
=c=
clear
url=”http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot”
curl –silent “$url”|egrep “(title>|link>)”|sed -n ‘4,$p’|sed -e ‘s/
/\n/’ -e ‘s/<\/title>//’ -e ‘s/<link>//’ -e ‘s/<\/link>//’|head -n 19|fmt<br />
echo ‘SLASHDOT’<br />
sleep 3600<br />
exec ~/.rsschannel/slashdot<br />
=c=</p>
<p>The problem with the above script is it will leave a running ‘sh’ and ‘sleep’ process everytime you kill your X (Ctrl Alt Backspace, I don’t like xdm). A preferred method is to dump the output of the script into a file and use cat to display it. The updating of the news will be done using cron.</p>
<p>nano -w ~/.rsschannel/slashdotdump<br />
=c=<br />
url=”http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot”<br />
curl –silent “$url”|egrep “(title>|link>)”|sed -n ‘4,$p’|sed -e ‘s/<title>/\n/’ -e ‘s/<\/title>//’ -e ‘s/<link>//’ -e ‘s/<\/link>//’|head -n 19|fmt<br />
=c=</p>
<p># enable user to use cron<br />
sudo usermod -G users,wheel,audio,cron your_username</p>
