check RSS feeds on startup

I've got my RSS feeds checking at what I'd consider to be a reasonably every 6 hours. However when I turn my PC on, I really don't want to have to wait 6 hours for it to check them. Is there any way I could

I'm guessing I'd need to do something like __SCHED.add_single_task(rss.run_method, "StartupRSS", kronos.method.sequential, [], None) to scheduler.py under the add_interval_task call for RSS feeds.

However I'm not a Python developer, the closest language I know is Ruby, and while I can add this to the code, I don't know if it'd be the right thing to do and I'd certainly have no idea how I'd repackage the .exe back up for Windows.

Any help on how I could get RSS feeds to be checked on startup without disrupting the normal RSS schedule would be brilliant.

Version: 0.4.11
OS: Windows 7 build 7100
Install-type: Windows Installer
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? N/A

We'll tackle this in the next major release.
For now, is it a problem to set the interval to 30 or 60 minutes?

I can reduce the delay on my feed checking in the meantime, I was worreid about overusing newzbin's rss feeds though.

Good to hear it's going to be added in a future release :)

Thanks.
