How to realize

Good afternoon everyone.
The task: a script authorizes on a certain site every few minutes and tracks if a certain string has changed in HTML-code. If it has changed, the script sends me a SMS or e-mail.
I have made authorization, checking, I can manage with e-mail sending.
Is it possible to make it work without launching in a browser? At this moment, I have this: I’m launching Apache, opening a browser, typing “localhost/…”, launching the script; it does its job and refreshes the page every 5 minutes.
But, I want he does its job on my local machine or on a hosting on background. I know word “cron” by hearsay. I know that e-mail is usually being cut on free hostings.
Please help me to implement the task. What SMS services do you know for that etc?
