ck4up is a small command-line utility, writen in ruby, to watch http and ftp
|
|
|
|
|
sites for updates. ck4up scans through a configuration file, fetches the
|
|
|
|
|
listed URLs from the web, computes the md5sum of the page, and compares the
|
|
|
|
|
value with one stored in a gdbm database. If both differ a message will be
|
|
|
|
|
written to the standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To improve performance, ck4up is multi-threaded. Regular expressions can be
|
|
|
|
|
applied to each page in the event that ck4up produces repetitive diff
|
|
|
|
|
messages. For example, if daily snapshots and a web counter are on the same
|
|
|
|
|
page. To simplify maintenance of the configuration file, a kind of
|
|
|
|
|
macro-expansion can be used.
