Would you share with the world the scripting you've done for that? I also have a Linux server and your setup would be most convenient for me as well.

Here's the script on the Linux server. I already ran jPluck to define the sites that I want to pluck and saved the config file. (I think I defined each site to be refreshed hourly in the config file so that they'd pluck no matter when I ran the script.) I've already set up a .netrc file to handle the userid / password for my public.ftp server.
I have my plucker config and logging stuff set up in a directory called ~/jpluck. The output of the pluck (pdb files) go to a different directory ~/zaurus/plucks. I scheduled the script to run a couple times a day so that I can pick up my news before leaving for work, or at lunch if I have a hot spot, etc.
#!/bin/bash
#-------------------------------------------------------------------#
# This script will run the jPluck utility to search for any pages #
# that are due to be retrieved for the day. #

#--- end of script --- The script for the Zaurus uses ftp to connect to my public ftp server, does a get of the daily_pluck file, gunzip and then untar's the plucker files to a dirctory on my zaurus. The last command requires opie-sh on the Zaurus to display a pop-up box when the script is done.
