Then you'd normally either write a simple script to launch the programs you want running when you activate it, or set up a cron job to run the programs automatically at certain times of the day / week / month or whatever.
Yes, they do...and good for you for loading it, but really, it's not that hard these days. Speak and write clearly, and you'll be taken seriously, no matter what you do. "lol yays", won't....
And yes, there are tips and tutorials. The man pages for wget ("man wget" at a prompt), are fairly lengthy, but understandable. They give you options to do pretty much whatever you'd like to download/manipulate a web page from a command line.
Also, check out the Firefox extensions that are available. Chickenfoot is one you might want to look at, that may be a bit friendlier.
