Hi,

I'm very new to Elasticsearch and I'm still discovering all the possibilities.  
For now my main concern is setting up a river (the rssriver from dadoonet, for example)

I have installed the plugin and run elasticsearch, this part is ok.

Now, would it be possible to include the following instructions into a conf file and how? I'm as much struggling with the syntax as with the settings, I confess. Or maybe some shell script would be more suitable?

$ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/lefigaro/](http://localhost:9200/lefigaro/)' -d '{}'

$ curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/lefigaro/page/\_mapping](http://localhost:9200/lefigaro/page/_mapping)' -d '{  
"page" : {  
"properties" : {  
"title" : {"type" : "string", "analyzer" : "french"},  
"description" : {"type" : "string", "analyzer" : "french"},  
"author" : {"type" : "string"},  
"link" : {"type" : "string"}  
}  
}  
}'

$ curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/\_river/lefigaro/\_meta' -d '{  
"type": "rss",  
"rss": {  
"feeds" : [ {  
"name": "lefigaro",  
"url": "[http://rss.lefigaro.fr/lefigaro/laune](http://rss.lefigaro.fr/lefigaro/laune)",  
"update\_rate": 900000  
}  
]  
}  
}'

Thanks in advance  
Regards,

Sébastien Sabat
