What I would suggest is ip-up checks to see if a temporary file
(/tmp/news.got or something) exists and if not create it and then invoke
fetchnews. This could be a short perl or shell script. Then have a cron
job to delete the temporary file every day or whatever.

This is similar to my setup here and what I have done.

Just my 2p :-)
