OK, here it is:

#!/bin/bash

SKYNETCLIENTCMD="java -jar /home/jwulf/Skynet/skynet.jar"
DIR=`pwd`
CONFFILE=csprocessor.cfg

  if [ ! -f $CONFFILE ]
  then
    echo "Cannot find $CONFFILE. Exiting."
    exit 2
  else
    source $CONFFILE
  fi

  if [ -z "$SPECID" ]
  then 
     echo "Please set a value for SPECID in $CONFFILE"
     exit 3
  fi
  
  if [ -z "$SPECNAME" ]
  then 
     echo "Please set a value for SPECNAME in $CONFFILE"
     exit 3
  fi
  
rm -rf $SPECNAME
rm $SPECNAME.zip
$SKYNETCLIENTCMD build $SPECID
unzip $SPECNAME.zip
cd $SPECNAME
publican build --formats=html-single --langs=en-US
#google-chrome file://$DIR/$SPECNAME/tmp/en-US/html-single/index.html
xdg-open file://$DIR/$SPECNAME/tmp/en-US/html-single/index.html
----------------------------------------------------------

Here's how to set it up:

Copy the script above and put it into a file like ~/skynet/buildit.sh. 

Modify the value of SKYNETCLIENTCMD  in the script to point to your local installation of the skynet client.

Make it executable with "chmod 755 buildit.sh".

Edit ~/.bashrc and add a line to point to the buildit.sh script:

alias buildit='~/skynet/buildit.sh'

Reload your environment with "source ~/.bashrc"

Now create a csprocessor.cfg with the following syntax:
-----------------------------------
SPECID=14
SPECNAME=Writing_with_Topics
-----------------------------------

Then just run "buildit" in the same directory as the csprocessor.cfg file. The script will delete the previously downloaded zip and the extracted files, contact the webservice to get the latest build as a zip, extract it, build it with publican, and then open it for preview in your browser. 

Enjoy!

This version will copy in a custom entities file. Just put the entities file next to the csprocessor.cfg file. Whenever you build, the custom entities file will be copied into the correct location.
