# simplewebwatcher
## Installation
```bash
go get github.com/fekle/simplewebwatcher
```
## Update
```bash
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.
## Configuration Sample
```toml
# Site Block, can be repeated for configuring multiple pages
[[Site]]
Description = "First" # Description used in popup and log
URL = "http://localhost" # Url scheme: http[s]://example.com[:123]
Username = "user" # leave blank to disable http auth
Password = "password" # leave blank to disable http auth
LastCheck = 2016-03-01T19:48:40Z # don't edit - used to store time of last check
LastBytes = 0 # don't edit - used to store size of last check
LastHash = "" # don't edit - used to store hash of last check
[[Site]]
Description = "Second"
URL = "http://localhost"
Username = "user"
Password = "password"
LastCheck = 2016-03-01T19:48:40Z
