4 urlwatch - A Simple URL Watcher
5 -===============================-
10 This is a simple URL watcher, designed to send
11 you diffs of webpages as they change. Ideal for
12 watching web pages of university courses, so
13 you always know when something has changed :)
18 Q: Where do I configure URLs?
19 A: Edit the file urls.txt.
21 Q: A page changes some content on every reload.
22 How do I prevent urlwatch from always
23 displaying these changes?
24 A: Edit the file hooks.py and add a handler for
25 the specific URL and strip the changing
26 parts. See hooks.py for more information.
28 Q: How do I use it as a cron job?
29 A: Simply add watch.py to your crontab. Make
30 sure the stdout of your cronjobs is mailed
31 to you, so you get the notifications.
