Description Tobias Lorenz 2016-08-26 19:53:18 UTC 
Hi, it would be great to have a possibility to update stock prices, even when kmymoney is not running. I'm not starting the software on a daily base. So having an executable that I can run via a cron job would be a great possibility to always have updated courses in the charts within kmymoney. I just file this as an idea for new functionality and hope I can convince somebody to implement it. ;-) Bye Tobias

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
To have an executable that can run as a cron job. It should update the prices of the stocks that I currently own.

Some kind of mechanism (locking) might be necessary to ensure proper behavior when kmymoney runs and cron job is triggered in parallel.

A variant on this would be to allow command line switches for all appropriate menu items.  Having the program not need to open any windows at all for these non-interactive sessions would also be useful.
