I use the following crontab entry which runs before I get to work:

15 6 * * * rm -f ~/#.newsrc-dribble# ~/.newsrc-dribble; /usr/local/bin/emacs 
-batch -u yamaoka --eval '(gnus 1)' -f gnus-group-quit

`-u yamaoka' is necessary to let Emacs load my ~/.emacs file (my
account name is "yamaoka").  `1' means to make Gnus check only
mail groups (I've set the group levels to 1 for all mail groups).
