2008 / urlwatch (Python URL watcher cronjob scripts)
urlwatch - A pythonic URL watcher cronjob script
This script is intended to help you watch URLs and get
notified (via e-mail) of any changes. The change notification will
include the URL that has changed and a unified
diff of what's changed. The script works out of a single directory,
so no need to install anything. State files are kept in the same
folder.
The script supports stripping always-changing parts of a page through
the use of a filter hook function.
