Hi,

I'm trying to write some bash script to monitor for a change in web pages.

I'm using WGET (through a cronjob) to collect the pages, then use DIFF to compare the previous and current page for changes, then just sending a notification to indicate if a change is detected.

This was all working great in the simple test environment until I tried monitoring a page that had a dynamic link . Where nearly every test brought up a difference.

So to my question, is there a way to do a DIFF on a couple of web pages but configure it to exclude dynamic links?

Thanks,

dog.

Well, if there is a way to identify the dynamic links then you could download the page, remove the links with sed and then make the diff or even remove all links generally before the diff.
This would remove all links:

Thanks heaps.
