Update: You can now use this script without needing to setup your own server, more info at
http://wufyi.com/.
(*)Update 2: I noticed that some free web hosts use javascript in order to filter out automated traffic, exactly the kind used by periodic cron jobs. I’ve moved my hosted script to a full fledged host / domain so now you do not have to. The way the site works now is this way for a reason. I do not want to provide a way for you to store your credentials on the site and setup cron job for you. By doing this I hope to avoid issues with WU api.
I loved an idea of bash script, developed by @johnny2678, but didn’t have a constant ON machine having JQ available. What I did have is a web host, some PHP knowledge and desire to make it work without additional expense. So here is my version of a PHP script (link) which can be uploaded to most PHP compatible servers (some are even free)*.
P.S. There are plenty of free cron job (link) sites which would be compatible with your server. Google them.
P.P.S. I’ve never been this close
