I love being able to read RSS feeds in Gnus. I hate having to wait for
all of them to load. Is there a way to run `g' in the background,
maybe periodically?
I've set the priority of my RSS feeds to 4, so I can use `C-u 3 g' to
quickly get my Gmane news. Later, when I get up for a cup of coffee, I
use a naked `g' to get everything.

One way might be to have the nnrss groups agentized, and run an Gnus
Agent fetcher process in a screen/cron job. It might be somewhat
brittle, though -- I haven't tried this myself with nnrss groups.

Thanks. Has anyone done anything like this and would like to post a
short HOWTO? In the meantime, I'll read up on the Gnus agent stuff.

Your best bet is to use the "external fetching" solution: just set
`nnrss-use-local' to t, and use `nnrss-generate-download-script' to
generate a shell script that fetches all your feeds with wget. Then run
that from cron.

You don't need `C-u' there. In Gnus, numbers always behave as numerical
arguments.

Awesome. Thanks, Romain!

I use this solution as well - working fine.
But i run the script both from cron and manually. When run by cron,
the script produces .xml and .el files in ~/News/rss/ owned by root.
When run manually, the root files are not processed anymore.
Any way to circumvent that?
Thanks,

You should run them as a cronjob of the user. I.e. say crontab -e on
the commandline (as normal user, not root)...
