Installation

go get github.com/fekle/simplewebwatcher

Update

go get -u github.com/fekle/simplewebwatcher

Usage

Running simplewebwatcher for the first time creates the neccessary folder (~/.simplewebwatcher) and writes a sample configuration to ~/.simplewebwatcher/config.

Currently, simplewebwatcher only has one mode, which fetches all configured sites, compares their sizes and hashes to the data stored in the configuration. On a mismatch, simplewebwatcher logs the occurence and alerts the user, before updating the configuration with the new data.

As the name implies, this mode is designed for use with cronjobs and other schedulers.

launchd (OSX)

Edit scripts/simplewebwatcher.plist, copy the file to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/simplewebwatcher.plist.

Run launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/simplewebwatcher.plist to load the service, and launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/simplewebwatcher.plist to unload it.
