No luck.

I downloaded Dec 25th and 26th PDFs on the 26th. Monday Dec 28th was a lieu day for Boxing day, so I downloaded the 28th and 29th PDFs on the 29th. And of course Jan 1st and 2nd PDFs on Jan 2nd. That's why I can't automate the date. I have a script "getone"... [i3][waltdnes][~/covid] cat getone #!/bin/bash wget https://files.ontario.ca/moh-covid-19-report-en-2021-01-${1}.pdf On the 14th it was invoked as "../getone 14" (called from the working directory, one level below the main "covid" directory). I tweak the script once a month to match year+month. In a worst-case scenario. I can go to https://covid-19.ontario.ca/covid-19-epidemiologic-summaries-public-health-ontario#daily to manually retrieve a daily PDF. Note that on this page, they list the date that the report is up to. The report issued 10:15 AM on the 14th shows up in the listing as "COVID-19 in Ontario: January 13, 2021". That's because it contains data up to the 13th. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
