Description
Would it be possible clear and refresh feeds from a command line? Perhaps using something like lynx to get the job done? Thanks for your help.

you do know about drupal cron don't you? if not please read this handbook page.
fooaggregator refreshes feeds on every cron run, the number of feeds per cron runs is configurable.
as for refreshing or clearing a specific feed from the command line, you can use wget or lynx to visit
node/NID/refresh or node/NID/clear
but since only a user with "administer fooaggregator" permission can clear or refresh feeds you'll have to somehow make wget or lynx authenticate. one way to do this is make wget use the cookies.txt stored in your firefox profile directory.
