Configure finance::quote to run automatically? (Windows)

[David T.]

Andrew--

Since you said you can only get updates manually, I will assume that Finance::Quote is not broken. 


I am pretty sure that I have used the same command that you included; since that didn't work for you, I'm officially Out Of My League, since I use OS X. However, I seem to recall seeing somewhere that Gnucash on Windows uses a startup script. Perhaps that script is involved with your problem?

David

I tried running the following command (discovered at 
http://code.gnucash.org/docs/guide/invest-stockprice1.html) from my gnucash bin directory, but it didn't have any effect.  Gnucash was closed at the time.  

gnucash --add-price-quotes C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\gnucash\gnucash

That's generally how it works.
