app to check for changes
 

Hi I would like to be able to tell when a webpage is modified. This way I do not have to check back every day to see I can either have this information emailed to me or I can get it to show on my desktop or something similar?

The page is always on the same name but text changes on the page.

Maybe you have experienced a similar problem?

any ideas??

I have seen a few websites that offer this capability. If you want to do it yourself you could run a cron job to monitor the md5sum of the page:
wget -qO - http://www.google.com | md5sum

If the md5sum is different then the page has changed.

thanks david good work
