I’m testing the newest builds of google chrome, and i wonder if anyone would know how to make a script that would start every 5 minutes and download latest build? The folder goes only up and i have no idea how to make such variable that would either check what is the latest one or download the latest one?

Assuming the chrome-linux.zip file never changes name it can be extremely
elegant:
wget -r
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/curl http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST 2>/dev/null/chrome-linux.zip
That is all on one line, by the way. You could then have something
actually go into the resulting directory and extract the zip file. The
part I haven’t worked out is how to actually pull the file list out of the
index.html returned by a request for the directory, but if
chrome-linux.zip doesn’t change then it’s not worth my tame to make it
multiple lines.
Create a cron job to run every five minutes. As your user, run crontab -e
and then create the following as the entry:
*/5 * * * * wget --directory-prefix=/path/to/output/directory -r
http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/curl http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST 2>/dev/null/chrome-linux.zip
Again, all on one line. Make sure your user has rights to create stuff in
/path/to/output/directory ahead of time.
Good luck.

Thanks!!! I was wondering what is this LATEST link for 
Now i can keep up with the latest and greatest chromium MANY MANY THANKS!!!
By the way, i could make whole script and put it in the cron directory?
Now that i know it downloads how can i send the output of LATEST whatever it is ? I want to make a variable and the LATEST output will be that so how could i make that?
What i mean is blablabla/22123 then i want to make a script that would save it in a neutral directory otherwise i will end up with many chrome-linux.zip files each in its own directory and i want it to be saved ALWAYS in the same folder no matter what is the LATEST.
P.S. Ok, i made it like that
wget -r http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/curl http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST 2>/dev/null/chrome-linux.zip > /home/piotrek/Programs/CHROME/chrome-linux.zip
P.S.2 Thank You very much once again, may the force be with You.

You could put it in a cron directory, though no cron directory is called
every five minutes. Making a script and dropping it in /etc/cron.hourly
may make sense though (getting a new build every five minutes is a little
crazy, methinks).
Good luck.
