Any thoughts on a script that monitors a site (or web page) waiting for a specific content to display? Would like the script to monitor a site (or page) every n minutes looking for a set keyword and returning if something new is found....
I have someone that wants to monitor a craigslist page or more for a specific item or brand. They want the script to alert them when a new item or brand item hits the site.
You will need to determine some way of deciding if a change to the page has been made that you wish to alert. Whether that entails storage into a file or some other storage is your choice.
cURL is one of multiple ways of accessing remote pages.
