RSS feed - Search upon startup

[GaryT]

Good one! Colin, thanks.
Hadn't realised that question would arise.

A: I watch it very closely  ;-)

Yes, either it's a 'plant' or an existing Ubuntu program modified, and 
it runs immediately I start Ubuntu and log onto the Internet.  I'm new 
to this Linux system, having used Windows for 20+ years, and while it's 
good, there aren't (or don't seem to be) the monitoring tools available 
that one needs. The learning process is slow.

I was hoping that someone with serious Linux programing experience might 
be able to offer some suggestions.
