My take on a url monitoring tool.
- Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/ccarse/Secret-Agent-Url
cd Secret-Agent-Url
- Install dependencies
npm install
- Edit config.js, most importantly the URLs object to include the URLs you'd like to monitor.
- If using environment variables to store email credentials, set those.
- Run!
node Secret-Agent-Url.js
- Error handling
- More customizable and richer output options
- Video quickstart tutorial
- Cron/launchd instructions
- Better logging
The project is pronounced Secret Agent Earl, it's not capitalized to try and help point out that it's a play on words.
Special thanks to http://github.com/thp. I've based a lot of this on his excellent python urlwatch tool. http://thp.io/2008/urlwatch/
